The Mobile Web Handbook

Weird browser bugs, inconsistent CSS/JS support, performance issues, mobile fragmentation, device pixels, viewports, zooming, touch event cascade, pointer and click events and the 300-millisecond delay. No, mobile isnâ€™t dark matter, but it does require you to learn a few new things, some of which are quite confusing.

The Mobile Web Handbook will help you to make sense of it all. Itâ€™s our brand new practical guide for dealing with front-end challenges on mobile â€”Â effectively. Written by Peter-Paul Koch, it features recent research findings and shows the intricacies of mobile, with its common problems and workarounds, and delivers what it promises: real-world advice for mobile â€” very unique and extremely useful.

How do you handle mobile browsers? What do you need to know about networks, operators and device vendors? What's the story behind position: fixed, overflow: auto and the three viewports? Are touch events reliable and how exactly do they work? And how do you test on mobile anyway? The book covers all these issues in detail, with lots of practical takeaways along the way.

In fact, building websites for mobile is buggy, unless you know why these bugs come up. With The Mobile Handbook, you'll learn just that â€” and also how to tackle common issues ahead of time, even before they come up.

The book will be useful for mobile strategists, developers, designers, and everybody willing to better understand the intricacies of mobile â€” both technical and market-related. Whether you want to get a better picture or dive deep into common browser bugs on mobile, this is just the book you need.
