Responsive web design?
I thought we ditched that for letting the browser/device handle display.
Oh well, I suppose it's nice if you want to charge your clients for what they'll perceive as fancy.
That's not to say it can't be done well- just that often it isn't needed, and is a waste of time/money/skill that's better spent on other aspects of the design or functionality.
It's often just something for the corner-rounders to do in order to feel clever and validate [charging money, themselves].
It's been a while, but I'll dump my bookmarks regardless. Except the best one for how to make money and clients, that's off-limits for goys like you. Generally you can find decent resources using google, take everything with a grain of salt; know that most designers are whiny, precious little beings and as such give shoddy advice with a lot of things, and tend to share lots of useless tips and tutorials.

****(TIP: that menu interface is terrible
!
See how the sub-menu for web dev & design overflows the button for software and apps?
Shouldn't do that.
Shouldn't leave you with no context for the sub-menu that opens either.
Just goes to show that most designers have little clue what they're talking about in regards to UI/UX. Or generally at all.)
