This week we were joined by Mat “Wilto” Marquis. He’s now a full timer at Filament group in Boston who, while doing client work (like The Boston Globe, have you heard of it?), have done some amazing open source work for the modern web (e.g. major contributions to jQuery UI and Mobile). Mat chair’s the Responsive Images Community Group and has been front in center in the work (or shall we say, #hotdrama) toward dealing with responsive images in web design. We talk about (roughly in order):

Q & A
What up with Filament’s Enhance.js (new beterness coming!) Can we as authors just choose not to use features we don’t like? I* s the RICG (the so-called “picture pushing club”) lazy? (Hint: no. Here’s a link to a recent compromise).
This week we were joined by Nicole Sullivan, a long time web veteran, originator of OOCSS, CSS lint, and tons more. Nicole is definitely a thought leader in the modern web development world who is often ahead of us all. We’ve watched OOCSS start out as this abstract and highly criticized concept turn into a pretty commonplace practice on large sites. We talk about (roughly in order):

Q & A
Designer and author Ethan Marcotte discusses the principles of responsive web design and shares advice and case studies for those looking to explore adaptive, device-agnostic web development practices.
Marcotte pioneered the term “responsive web design” and is the author of the book by the same name, Responsive Web Design.
It’s difficult to predict how users will access your designs and your content. More and more, people are connecting to the internet through some sort of mobile device. Using the latest advances in HTML and CSS can leave aspects of your site incompatible with some browsers. How do you ensure that you’re providing a good experience to your users over a broad spectrum of scenarios?
Aaron Gustafson, author of Adaptive Web Design, believes that progressive enhancement can help. He says that progressive enhancement is a great way to get designers to think about the user first. As he states in the podcast, “the best browser is the one you have with you… so why are you making it impossible for me to do something super simple?”
Approaching your designs in this way, you avoid putting technical restrictions on your users. You end up delivering a rich experience appropriate to them in their context. You can employ CSS3 and JavaScript to create a robust experience for those who have capable browsers. But you can also remain accessible and able to perform on older browsers or less capable devices.
In this podcast, Aaron and Jared Spool discuss adaptive web design in more depth. It’s a small taste of the daylong workshop Aaron will be presenting at the User Interface 17 conference in Boston, November 5-7, 2012. Learn more about UI17 at uiconf.com.
We sat down with Austin designer Elyse Holladay to get a short recap of An Event Apart, the world’s premier web conference, that recently rolled through town.

Hook.io has been an important project for Marak Squires since 2006. Charlie Robbins describes it as "a full-featured I/O framework for node.js that enables a simple way to distribute your application across multiple node.js processes using the new EventEmitter2 API and leveraging the power of Crash-only software." In this technical discussion, Marak reviews both the history of hook.io, as well as both how it works and its specifications. Node.js experts and novices will find his discussion most illuminating.

On today’s show we recap the fun had at the first-ever Austin Dribbble Meetup. It was a grand ol’ time. We also dig into the relatively new web trend, “Responsive Web Design”. We’ll talk about what it is, our changing thoughts on it, the results of our definitive facebook poll, as well as explain our in-house approach and tips and tricks we’ve learned along the way.

Ethan Marcottee explains responsive web design. He also takes us through his own process to building a responsive site which includes applying media queries and designing for the mobile.
