Les défis du “progressive enhancement”
This is a nice overview (in French) of how Hopwork handles progressive enhancement in their SaaS product. Their back-end is Java too. It’s nice to see folks talking about how to progressively enhance products in that language; we don’t hear about that often enough.
Adaptive + Responsive Web Design
A nice overview (in Dutch) of why you should combine progressive enhancement with RWD.

Is Progressive Enhancement Over?
This is an excellent missive from Nicholas covering the progressive enhancement debate.
First … progressive enhancement isn’t about having a JavaScript vs. JavaScript-disabled experience, it’s about providing the best possible user experience throughout the entire lifecycle of the web application. …
Second, progressive enhancement isn’t a strict prescription, it’s a way of thinking about the software you’re building. … Instead, it encourages you to think more deeply about the problem you’re trying to solve, and guides you towards solutions that work for the maximum number of users.
These two points are why I believe progressive enhancement is as relevant today as it has ever been. The only difference now is that we have more options for improving the user experience than ever before.
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
