The first half of the book is largely devoted to why you should make a mobile website, and why to design it ahead of your website for PC browsers. If you are already sold on that idea, you can safely skip it.
The second half of the book is full of really helpful interaction design insights, aimed at UX professionals who work mainly on websites for PCs, and are making a transition to designing for mobile. If that describes you, you should read this book. I also appreciated that its focus is on the mobile web, not of the design of native applications. He does a good job not focussing solely on iOS, and lets you know how the patterns he describes apply to Android and other devices. I'm working on a mobile application called Dicewalla and this book has helped me figure out and prioritize the product roadmap.

Mobile First is the second book I have read by this author. The other one - Web Form Design - was also wonderful. His writing style is clear, concise and contains no waste. He makes his points about designing for mobile in a simple, one concept at a time way and supports his contentions with loads of examples backed up by real user research. Once you finish reading this short book, you have a very good idea about how to navigate the really small design space available to mobile app & mobile web developers. No one should skip this one...It takes about 4 hours to read and I walked away with about 10 major ideas to help on our projects.

This is a great book that's easy to read and has concise information.It helped me understand the most appropriate progression of web design and the reasons for that progression. This new design strategy is exactly the opposite of how I would typically design a website, which makes its contents all the more valuable.
