Building on your JavaScript knowledge, you can use jQuery to easily add some advanced features to your site. Along those lines, the jQuery UI Blog brings you the State of the jQuery UI Grid, which you can use to programmatically create CSS grid layouts for your sites.
Interestingly, all of your web development skills can also be translated to mobile devices. Christopher Bennage has a second useful article for you on Mobile Development: Detecting Devices & Features. In a similar vein, this MSDN Magazine article on HTML5 Browser and Feature Detection will help you start developing for the mobile web.Now take that knowledge a step further with this Smashing Magazine article on Rapid Prototyping For Any Device With Foundation. Responsive web design FTW!
