Choose the right Media Query !

               Samsung has come out with craziest form factors for its phones , tablets  or phabltes (some say so) ,most web developers are asked to support the site in all the form factor with same design and due to a bad design (read non fluid) it becomes really tough to choose the right media query. here is the link to a simple tool  http://pieroxy.net/blog/pages/css-media-queries/test-features.html which will help you in to arriving at a perfect media query for that device.
                 Though this is not a great solution to have device specific media query but some times in service  companies you have to fix a bug  :(

Respond to IE 8, 7, 6

            We write some amazing stuff for responsive web development and when check on IE it does not work.... well not anymore... just came across an amazing script which enables media queries to be fired in IE 8 , 7 , 6


here is the link to the demo

Hammer the hell out of Touch Devices

            As a user experience developer my area of work has expanded exponentially to 'X' number of devices. Many of these 'X' devices are touch sensitive and those who are used to code for mouse friendly interfaces are not ready with the devices to test their code. so how do we do it..how do we convert the mouse events to the touch events, well there is our community to the rescue.
            I recently came across a library called Hammer.js which support many  multitouch gestures on many devices. Pretty easy to add to any existing website.
