Part 2 (How to go Mobile), while not wildly technical, focused on the considerations on how to go mobile. Things like responsive design, big buttons, and organizing for action. This will probably be less interesting for most, however Part 1 (the first 3 chapters) I'd highly recommend.

In Part 1 (Why Mobile First?) Luke talks about the amazing growth of mobile, the user experience improvements you'll discover as you embrace the mobile constraints such as the screen size, and then he talks about the capabilities of mobile devices that enable innovations simply not available on any other platform.

If you read it and walk away thinking your next venture should *not* be mobile focused, I'll be very surprised.

In June and July, eXtension.org had Luke Wroblewski give two presentations on mobile learning: Mobile First and Organizing Mobile Web Experiences. While I did not have the opportunity to attend the presentations, I did hear good things about his book Mobile First*.

I received Mobile First on Thursday and read it in one sitting. The book is 123 pages of useful material spread out across two parts and seven chapters. Part one focuses on why you should pursue a mobile initiative, some of the constraints, and some of the opportunities, and part two provides a number of great tips on how to make it happen from organizing content, controlling actions, input suggestions, and layout options.

Every web developer/designer should read this book. ( )

A pretty short book with a high-level view of website design in our time of rapid increase in the use of mobile platforms and rapid evolution, and introduction, of the platforms themselves. Lots of advice and examples with no code. You could get as good an introduction to the topic from Web sources, but then it would take some time to collect the sources and winnow the collection. Worth reading, that is to say, but not exactly 'good'. ( )
