The online world is changing, and new devices are becoming both more important and more varied. Building prototypes for web sites and web apps is getting harder, and the need to have a working prototype to use and get feedback on is more critical than ever. In this talk we'll show you how to use Foundation, a new CSS/HTML/JS framework, to quickly prototype sites and web apps that work on any kind of device, at any resolutions, with a variety of capabilities and constraints. We'll look at creating complex layouts in minutes that let you easily try out different experiences and different JS interactions. The key to success in the new online world is rapid prototyping and iteration, so come hear about a slick new way to get things done

Very fine presentation! The presenter was spot on. I learned much that I can apply right away to numerous projects.

I think we all had a good sense of Why when we RSVP'ed. I wish the talk had focussed more on the Foundation framework and shown how to use it in more depth so that we could evaluate it for projects. I'll guess I'll just have to spend more time on it on my own.

Engaging speaker and good content. Appreciated that the talk ended half an hour earlier than planned, even with multiple questions from the audience, so that allowed everyone to network.

My raw notes:
Zurb.com
Mobile traffic is huge - mobile traffic is bigger than other form of Internet traffic.
Death of 960 . 960 pixel grid 1024 x 768 screen no more one size fits all
Responsive prototyping is about giving up control.
Future friendly sites.
Content first, then everything like presentation n social comes later

Is anyone driving to this from the SF area? I would love to go but the 3 hour commute by public transit is a bit much...
