Web Developer Interview Experience

Process

A recruiter called for a phone interview a couple of days after I applied for this position on the LinkedIn website.

I was scheduled for a technical interview two days later.

After the first technical phone interview, they scheduled me for one more technical phone interview with other team members. After that, the recruiter called to say I did not meet the team's expectations.

The whole process took around 3 weeks.

Questions

Explain "Graceful degradation versus progressive enhancement." I probably didn't prepare well for this topic, which might be the reason.
