Aside from the article by Patrick Teglia on the real-life efforts required to develop the mobile app released for Chicago DrupalCon, “The Drupal Mobile Process”, you will find many other articles about mobile development, and Drupal.
Excerpted from the description on Drupal Watchdog:
Dries Buytaert, the creator of Drupal, contributed a column in Issue #1 titled “Making Drupal A Go-To Platform For Building Mobile Applications.” Issue #2 of Watchdog tackles this same topic in much greater depth, exploring the present state and future course of Mobile Drupal.
Larry Garfield kicks things off in style by asking, “What Does Mobile Mean?” He explores the many definitions people apply to the word “mobile” and provides a roadmap for keeping Drupal relevant in the rapidly arriving future, where visits from mobile devices outnumber those from desktop and laptop computers.
John Albin Wilkins continues the discussion in his article, “Finding Our Path In The Mobile Wild.” In his article, you will find an in-depth comparison of the most prominent methods of serving mobile content, with each method applied specifically to Drupal. He compares and contrasts websites built specifically for mobile devices with those favoring the fluidly adaptive Responsive Design. While reviewing the pros and cons of each, he discusses the current revolution we're facing with site building and content management.
In “Responsive Web Design: Look Great On Any Device,” Bruno De Bondt and Kristof Orts offer a compelling case for Responsive Design. And Matthew Farina provides four simple yet effective tips on obtaining “Big Performance Wins On The Front End.”
Exploring topics outside of mobile Drupal, Matt Butcher provides an excellent tutorial in “Writing Drupal 7 Modules,” walking through the basic steps required to create a fully functional Drupal module. And Emma Jane Hogbin completes her two part series on creating a theme based on a Photoshop image in “PSD To Drupal 7 Theme, Part II.”
Read on to find a goldmine of other articles beyond the few mentioned above. Our regular columnists have returned along with new authors who have contributed their voices and ideas to the collective consciousness.
