Mobile Web Design Book Review
I have been reading like crazy lately. I have just acquired a thirst for knowledge like I have never had before. Soon I will be adding a currently reading section on my blog and also list books I have read and recommend. From time to time I will also give my review on a book that I have read.
The book I just finished was Mobile Web Design Book which is an e-book written by Cameron Moll. The book recently became available in print.
The book was an easy read and Cameron made it easy to understand with pictures of different phones that were being tested. I never really learned to read and get the books with pictures anyways
When I bought the e-book I initially thought that I was going to receive loads of code information I needed to get on my way. Though there was plenty of helpful code information, the book was something more than I expected. It is about a way of thinking. I tend to ask the question “Who is your target audience?” when I am dealing with clients and the same has to be asked of mobile users. Who are these mobile users? How will they be accessing the mobile web? and for what? Questions like these came up in the back of my head as I read through Cameron’s book and his book helped make that connection. One example that Cameron pointed out was that a mobile web user is more than likely holding coffee in one hand and his phone in the other to access the web. Now what information do you want to give that person? My answer is something quick, efficient and relative.
I don’t want to give too much information about the book. It was a great read and worth the money spent $19.00. If you do web design or if your company is looking to go mobile this book will help the way you think and gives you some code insight.
