The Mobile Book (+Addendum!)
The future is mobile. As more and more people are turning to mobile devices, designers and developers are facing new challenges and opportunities. Web design has to adapt. But before it can do so, we have to do our homework — understand the new medium and discover the right techniques and tools to design for it. Our brand new Mobile Book serves exactly this purpose.
These extra chapters of the Mobile Book provide insights into design and development for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, as well as introduce techniques for advanced HTML5 Web applications and explore UX patterns on these platforms.
Table of Contents (Addendum)
| AUTHOR | CHAPTER | DETAILS |
| Greg Nudelman Rian van der Merwe | Mobile Design Patterns | |
| The key to using design patterns is not to get caught up in copying the exact implementations, but instead to witness the underlying reasons for why something works, and then adopt a unique design situation with authenticity, grace and vision. This chapter attempts to collect strategic patterns that reflect the underlying customer experience trends unique to the mobile environment, and use examples of particular implementations that call out important existing or emerging trends. Chapter keywords: faceted refinement, parallel search, zero results recovery, tap-ahead, engagement, rollaway dashboard menu, tabbed views, reading and pagination. | ||

Each section is accompanied with examples, suggestions and best practices.
