2011 Topics of Interest
The registration form asks what topics attendees are interested in hearing about.
One person asks: "I have read about creating accessible software, but I would like more real world knowledge. How do people really use high contrast themes, keyboards, screen readers. What do people really use? With only a limited amount of development time, how do we create software with the most impact. Also, with touch devices becoming so popular, how will these end-users needs be represented - and not pushed to the side, so that cool wins out over accessibility?"
