My slides from On The Edge Birmingham 2014 on 3rd July 2014 (#edgebrum). My talk was about the principles of responsive web design with real world experiences of how Cyber-Duck approached responsive design for our own website.
![We should embrace the fact that
the web doesnt have the same
constraints [as the printed page]
and design for this flexibility.
