Superbly illustrative, fun-to-read, instructive (while maintaining a lighthearted p.o.v. & engaging expert author/reader interaction) guide in an innovative field: bridging the largely unchartered body of knowledge that is the responsive/wordpress gap — all from a super enlightening and hands-on approach. Would recommend to anyone for whom topics covered in http://shoptalkshow.com/episodes/107-... podcast resonates :)
