In our developer meeting, we discussed mobile development. We’re\u00a0not primarily mobile developers, but\u00a0modern web applications need to work effectively on mobile devices, and we have done some mobile-specific projects.<\/p>\n
We talked about who cared about mobile browsers and responsive design – and came to the conclusion that everyone did. It’s not just people actively using a mobile device, but it’s also things like\u00a0displaying on projectors at client meetings, docking browsers, and Chromebooks and other very\u00a0small laptops.<\/p>\n
We mostly use\u00a0a responsive design CSS framework like Bootstrap, which does a lot for us but not everything. There is a “bootlint” tool that checks whether we are using Bootstrap classes effectively. We can also use Chrome and Firefox to simulate mobile devices.\u00a0Actually accessing with real mobile devices is useful – but a bit of a pain for C# projects, because you have to configure the embedded IIS to allow access from\u00a0outside the computer it’s running on, which isn’t the default.<\/p>\n
We’ve had to do work in the past to fix display of items via “hover” – e.g. making them work on-click instead – but this may conflict with existing behaviour. Right-click is effectively unavailable too. Gestures are available – but not widely used.<\/p>\n
