That's the thing : it's not about the code, but about the browser. I guess mobile browser will have to consume less resources to use a mobile-first framework than a classic one, because it will only apply the defaults.
Second point might be that older browsers - that don't support media queries for example - will render the smaller version (which may be more appropriate : old browser <~> small screen). And finally, as said before, the mobile-first is also there to *force* the developer to make sure its website is mobile-ready. Nothing to do with code *per se*. * *On Sunday, May 19, 2013 9:07:02 AM UTC+2, Shark Huang wrote: > > >> > The basic difference is that a browser will first try to render the mobile > - small resolution, and more simple - layout, and will then try to apply > the "enhancements" provided by the responsive design. > > Could you explain this with Code? > > On Saturday, May 18, 2013 5:56:47 AM UTC+8, Sherbrow wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> As I understand it - aside from any *new things* that the third version >> will introduce - the mobile first aspect will not change the code. >> >> The basic difference is that a browser will first try to render the >> mobile - small resolution, and more simple - layout, and will then try to >> apply the "enhancements" provided by the responsive design.
