The ultimate goal of responsive design is to provide a site that adapts to any user regardless of their browser, device, or abilities. In addition to existing web standards, we currently rely on JavaScript and server-side techniques to enable a more responsive experience. Den will explore how web standards can evolve to better adapt to our users’ needs and environments.

Pro JavaScript RIA Techniques:
Best Practices, Performance, and Presentation
Dear Reader,
Many people are familiar with rich Internet applications (RIAs), those web sites
that blur the line between desktop software and the web browser. Applications
like webmail clients, photo editors, and social networking sites cross this
boundary. They feature intuitive, user-friendly interfaces, without the need for
page refreshes or other interruptions to the end user’s experience. It is widely
regarded that this type of web site will continue to grow in popularity.
I wrote this book to help web developers with some existing JavaScript skills suc-
cessfully create their own professional, visually rich, dynamic, and performance-
tuned RIAs. And following the guidelines in this book, you’ll be safe in the
knowledge that your code is built according to best practices, adhering to web
standards and accessibility guidelines.
In this book, I will show you how best to build a solid, maintainable foundation
of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code for your RIAs, together with the Ajax techniques
needed to provide the dynamic communication between the browser and web
server behind the scenes. I will describe the performance limitations you may run
into when building your web applications and how best to overcome these. And
I’ll give you some tips for making your user interfaces feel more responsive, even
when you can’t get around the performance limitations.
You also will learn how to improve your RIA user interfaces by adding typo-
graphical headings using custom fonts, multimedia playback components,
customized form controls, and dynamic charting capabilities. Additionally,
I will demonstrate how to continue running your web applications when the
connection to the server is broken, how to use Ajax to read hidden data stored
within binary files, and how to ensure the highest level of accessibility within
your JavaScript web applications.

Shakespeare's dramatic genius is
especially to be noted in the art with
which he manages his beginnings.
The first scene of Macbeth strikes the
keynote of the play. The desert place,
the wild storm, the appearance of the
witches, "the wayward rhythm" of
their songs, all help to prepare us for
a drama in which a human soul
succumbs to the supernatural
suggestions of evil and ranges itself
along with the witches on the devil's
side.
We hear of a battle that is even now
being fought, we hear of the trysting-
place of the witches at the conclusion
of the fray, and last of all we hear the
name of the man they are planning to
meet. No sooner has the name
"Macbeth" been uttered than the
calls of the attendant spirits are
