I am not a SharePoint developer but I have done responsive design for other projects. I need to do responsive design under SharePoint 2013. Is it possible? I need to stay away from adaptive design (device detection with bootstrap or zurb). I need to do everything with media queries. Any links to training videos, website resources, or books on how to do this would be appreciated.

I am currently looking for automation open source framework & tool either in C#, Java or any language to automate WPF application.
I have already explore TestStack White for WPF automation and its working perfect for me. BUT
My WPF application has 60% to 70% are embedded web pages (HTML) Dynamics CRM forms are loading.
TestStack White doesn't support embedded web pages.
Please guide me any open source framework or tool which can help me to automate my UI & integration testing.
I am researching architecture for a dashboard for my company to eliminate the clunky reporting UI we have now that has a treeview menu and uses the SQL Reporting Services Report Viewer control.
I am considering using ASP.NET MVC 4 server side and Telerik Kendo UI on the client side for the data tables, charts, and graphs. For data access, I would use ADOMD.NET to retrieve data from the SSAS cube.
Reasons for this is I am interested in something that is lightweight, fast, and that runs equally well on Android tablets, iPad's, in Firefox, Safari, and IE 9, iPhone's, Android phones, etc.
Will this be an effective architecture for a lightweight, cross platform compatible corporate dashboard? For a MSFT environment, are there better alternatives that meet my requirements?
I am working on a very similar project with ASP.NET MVC3/4 and Telerik Kendo UI.
Refer to this post concerning the easiest way of doing this, using a third-party Entity Framework provider. Technically this would mean that all you have to do is serializing the data source obtained from SSAS Entity Framework Provider to JSON then giving it to a Kendo UI control and you're in business.
In my project i have used WPF and am following MVVM pattern. So i have a report module in my project and the reports are just plain reports. So i would like to know should i use SQL Reporting Service 2005 to create reports and then use report viewer as client or should i go for WPf Fixed Document Control- Document viewer.
Can anyone please tell me which of these will be easier to integrate with my project.
Please reply
Thanks

WPF Document (Fixed or Flow)
Pros:
Easier to integrate. All is included in regular WPF
Native
More control on the output
Cons:
Must program a lot for a multi-page report
Must program a lot for headers, footes, groups, etc.
SQL Reporting Services
Pros:
Mature tools
Interoperable with other solutions (IE asp.net)
Groups, totals, page headers, graphics built in
Cons:
Not native, must use a embedded windows form control
Must deploy the reporting service runtime separately (not good for click-once apps)
Hard to integrate to your business objects
Hi just about to get the dev team to start looking at the next version of a CRM type SOA based application and the thorny issue of Application Front End came up.
Currently the application is a composite application using
Web Forms (.net2)
Sharepoint 2003
InfoPath *
BizTalk
*Not FormsServer though - was before FormServer as we hack the ProgID in HTTP to launch a server based XSD for InfoPath and punch data into that on load.
We are looking at moving to MVC or MVVM model as we have web services and a database to interact with and we can see the move to that architecture to be a good one with 3.5 and Linq (although we have keyTables for managing one to many relationships that dont appear to work that well with LinqToSQL or EF... but i digress)
So we are at a point of looking at what would be good for the contact centre taking in these points
We must have a web server version for deployment (?) XBAP may diminsh this
Visulisation v Speed (WPF/SilverLight v WebForms and Grids)
So was wondering if anyone else faced this dilemma, hints tips and which would you choose based on your experience?
EDIT
Thanks for the links to Prism and the EP Site - already been looking at that - was hopeing for some real life expereinces...
xbap(can deploy on webserver) or wpf
patterns & practices: Composite WPF and Silverlight
Prism
Go for Xceed WPF Grid (xbap)
Can someone suggest a good UI framework for WinForms development? What I'm looking for is something that is fairly mature (=bug-free), renders well and quickly, and does not bloat my program with 10Mb assemblies.
Me and my team all use Telerik. The result is a stunningly good looking GUI, the controls are very mature and easy to use.
I've purchased the developer express report control and it does not scale well at all. It maxes out the CPU on our webservers when producing a report with 10k+ rows on it. So I can't recommend developer express.
I use developer express. IMHO cleaner more rational API than infragistics, fewer bugs with visual studio and help integration. I never look at the size of assemblies.. it's not a really useful metric for me in .net installs. Just to install hello world you are looking at massive downloads and long .net framework installs.
I’d suggest looking at DevExpress WinForms UI library which ships with over 190 high-performance and fully customizable UI controls and over 50 amazing application themes.
DevExpress is the only UI component vendor to offer WinForms DirectX rendering support. By moving to DirectX, their controls have achieved the highest possible performance and brilliant High DPI rendering quality.
You can try all DevExpress products for 30 days for free at https://www.devexpress.com/try
You can also consider Nevron Open Vision for .NET (https://www.nevron.com/products-open-vision.aspx).
It contains 70+ UI components, plus advanced Chart, Grid, Diagram, Rich Text Editor, Gauge and Schedule components. All components can be integrated into any WinForms, WPF, Xamarin.Mac and Blazor - WebAssembly project.
The solution features hardware acceleration on most platforms (renders really fast), and is very lightweight.
