Mobile Web Design Help

5 points by jhacks 14y ago ↗ HN

Can anyone help me find a good resource for information on mobile web design? More specifically, I'm interested in "responsive" web design where a single website (and related code) can be used both by a desktop and mobile browser.

Is there a way to code your HTML/CSS to recognize the device your user is using and display the appropriate webpage?

There just seems to be so many features/changes to the design of some pages when viewed on a mobile browser and my knowledge of CSS/HTML doesn't encompass this.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

This might not be exactly what you are looking for, but could be very helpful to look at some of the responsive web frameworks like Foundation (http://foundation.zurb.com/).
