Usability Quote of the Day

Paper: mobile web development in Japan

A detailed paper about current web design practices and mobile web development in Japan ...

"Back in March, I wrote a paper about mobile webdev practices in Japan for a conference at Berkeley - my paper was accepted, but apparently, the publication process is delayed quite a bit. As I don't like waiting, I decided to go ahead and make my paper available online (under a CC license).

Instead of immediately diving into the mobile webdev topic, I felt is was necessary to start with some context: I first explain about device independence, and then compare 1990s webdev practices (i-mode started in 1999, when IE5 was a novelty) with web standards.

So, those who don't need all the contextual talk may want to start from section 4."   continued ...   (Via wg)
