Techniques for website design on all devices

Today, there is a growing demand to create websites that can render across multiple devices such as desktop browsers, tables and smart phones. New standards such as HTML5 help in this regard.

But it's important to apply proper design principles when we develop web pages that can reder across a wide array of devices. Found this cool article that describes a few techniques that can be used. The author of this blog 'Ethan Marcotte' has also written a book on this called "Responsive Web Design".

The core philosophy is how can we use CSS3/HTML5 to enable our application to detect the capabilities (size, resolution, JS support, etc.) of the browser and adapt the layout of the page accordingly.
