Web Fundamentals is a technical documentation center for multi-device web development. Our goal is to build a resource for modern web developers that’s as curated and thorough as developer.android.com or iOS Dev Center.

Links: Live site | Planned content

The project was initiated in late March and soft launched to the public on April 30th. We're planning for a more polished 1.0 release in June.

This is a Jekyll build.

/src
  /appengine - the server to host the static content
  /site - the documentation
    /getting-started - the getting started articles
    /multi-device-layouts - responsive design guide
    /introduction-to-media - the guide to using media
    /optimizing-performance - the perf articles
    /using-touch - managing touch
    /showcase - the case-studies

/build is never checked in but generated by Jekyll.
