> Participants will examine the challenges facing Web developers due to
> variations in device capabilities, modes of interaction and software
> standards, the need to support assistive technologies for
> accessibility, and the demand for richer user interfaces. Discussion

> sensitive user interfaces in relation to these challenges, and the

> Interfaces.
