Final Exam Draft - Accessability

I’m about to sit the final exam of my university degree this afternoon. It is for a unit called Internet Technologies, and I have to write two essays - “Pretend you are writing two articles for a technical magazine. You cannot select the topic you covered in your talk or project”. The list of topics are:

  1. C#
  2. ASP.NET
  3. Advanced ASP.NET: UserControls
  4. SQL Server 2005 & ADO.NET
  5. Handling session information in a ASP.NET application
  6. Security. Authorization and authentication in ASP.NET, .NET Framework and C#
  7. Design Patterns
  8. Intro to source code control & Use of CVS
  9. Intro to issue and bug tracking. Use of Issue/Bug Tracking software
  10. Open Source: The impact on corporate development practices
  11. Introduction to SOAP & Web Services
  12. XHTML and CSS2
  13. XML and XSLT
  14. LDAP and DirectoryServices in .NET
  15. Refactoring
  16. Agile processes & Extreme Programming
  17. Advanced C#: New features
  18. Team Foundation Server: Collaborative Development Environments
  19. .NET Compact Framework: Developing for PDAs and Phones
  20. C# and MS.NET vs Java J2EE: Pros and Cons
  21. Developing for Accessibility
  22. HCI Issues in web applications

Since my talk was on Design Patterns and my project was on Web Services, I have selected Developing for Accessibility and XML and XSLT. Since I have a pretty bad case of the flu, I thought I might draft them here first to try and coerce my brain into a thinking mode again. Wish me luck :)

Insipration

…is drinks with your peers and talking about what matters to you most.

…is like minded people throwing ideas around, making you think about things you haven’t thought about before

…is realising that your opinions do matter, and there is always someone that is interested.
