    I have a few people I work with who have traditionally been print designers, who are now getting a bit more involved in digital design. I'm putting together a crash-course on all things responsive design, web design basics, etc. and trying to think of all the things that will be useful to them - even down to print terminology that isn't used in web design.

    What comes to mind as being important for print designers to understand as they transition to digital design?

    So far, I've got:

    - Responsive basics
    - fixed vs. fluid layouts
    - working within a grid
    - understanding basic HTML aspects like divs
    - CSS-only capabilities for text
    - mobile first design

    What else comes to mind?
