Think Mobile: The Experience of a University towards more Complex Services
In today's incredibly exciting yet overwhelming world of connected digital devices and computers, the diversity of these devices -- many of which we haven't imagined yet -- is exploding, as will the quantity and diversity of the practices.
Between adaptation of existing services, progressive enhancements, (perceived) performances, Mobile First or MultiTouch First and Responsive Design conceptions, without any dogmatism, here is an unpretentious attempt to "think Mobile and Desktop" at University Pierre & Marie Curie-Sorbonne Universites, viewed from the Front-End side through three examples of deployment: a new version of an existing Portal solution (uPortal/uMobile 4), the UPMC on iTunesU site and a homemade Video Library and their Video Capture Workflow.
I will focus on the Web Context and on Web (app) development and some Front-End web development techniques (html5, css3, JavaScript), concepts and issues we've encountered at the University Pierre & Marie Curie.
