This is a great little tutorial on using media queries to control the layout of the content in your web app. This can be very handy when you are trying to display content to a variety of mobile devices - phones, tablets, laptops - and don’t want to develop different sites for each - but remember - don’t make your mobile users download more than they need!
Simply stated, I’m going to build a mobile app for a notes database. I’m going to start with a pretty complex set of databases and bring them to a mobile phone. My goals and materials should be pretty typical for what most people are likely to have lying around - Lotus Notes db that is very old (10+years), very complex (hundres of views, forms and fields), and very large (1 gig+). The goal will be to distill the business functions down to a level that makes sense for a mobile version of that app, yet still provides the user with what they need. I’m also going to try 3 different approaches to the problem and explore the pluses and minuses of each. The first approach will be to work with out of the box stuff - ie XPages.
One more thing. I’m not a web guy and I’m not really a Notes guy either. I know enough about both to be dangerous and to know what to search for in google.
