Cross-Device User Experience Strategy and Design
Today multiple devices have enrooted deeply in our daily life. New devices with new screen sizes are being developed every day offering variations in size, orientation, functionality and even color. The solution lies in addressing these requirements at fundamental level starting with navigation, layout and content presentation design rather than just hovering around fluid layouts and CSS switch. This talk will uncover some of the best industry practices in terms of user experience and interface design that are effective, practical and emerging in nature to tame the above variables.
Speaker

02.20PM to 03:00PM: Session 6
Building Web UI for Mobile Media
Whether it‘s checking email on the go, connecting with friends through social networks or using turn-by-turn navigation, the capabilities of Smartphones are convincing more and more consumers to make the leap from a simple mobile phone to a more sophisticated device. Mobile browsing is expected to outpace desktop-based access within three to five years. We’re designing for mice and keyboards, for T9 keypads, for handheld game controllers, for touch interfaces. In short, we’re faced with a greater number of devices, input modes, and browsers than ever before.

Speaker
Ashok Krish, Head - Web 2.0, Tata Consultancy Services
04.10PM to 04.50PM: Session 8
Progressive CSS3 Design
After a decade, CSS 2.1 has finally become more consistent across browsers, giving designers and developers more creative options than ever before. Of course, with work well underway in CSS3, we find ourselves again challenged by how to tap into CSS3's wonderful features such as real fonts, HSL color, transparency/opacity, media queries - the list of features goes on and on. But once again, we find ourselves hungering to use these powerful technologies, yet battling browser inconsistencies. By using progressive techniques, the Speaker will show you how to make these features available in the majority of browsers useful today, while ensuring that those browsers without support get a good experience, too. Even in IE6!
