...Web Accessibility Initiative's Accessible Rich Internet Applications: Bridging Technology Shelia S Bradley IT3210 Web Systems and Technologies Dr. Azad Ali 26 January 2014 Web Accessibility Initiative’s Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) is a technical guide published by the World Wide Web that is typically supposed to make web content and web applications more accessible by people with disabilities. It acts as a bridge between the web content and applications and technology giving the two the availability to exchange messages easily. The purpose that ARIA was created was so that developers can use the latest web technologies to make sure that people with disabilities are able to use the assistive technology products to access the content on their web pages. New technology allows the use of dynamic content that allows web pages to constantly update and refresh, such as weather updates for the local news websites, bank account balances for online banking, stock market data, and sports scores for sports sites like ESPN. There are many features of WAI-ARIA that gives more control to the web page developers by allowing them to specify different features on the document such as ‘banner’, ‘menu’, ‘navigation’, and ‘search’. These tags give the user the ability to determine what information the tags may provide without having to guess and eliminating the need to have to search the entire page until they find the information needed. According to Henry (2013)...

...Group5? Sprint 1 Garage for tractor. Positive Splitting the user story into tasks and splitting the tasks between people went well and everyone had opportunity to participate. However we never really did it in a more organized way. we had communication with the team building the tractor to decide the size of the garage (however it was not enough and we didn’t notice them changing the size). Negative Went in blind, no clear idea how large anything was supposed to be. No-one had picked the actual tractor by the time we picked the garage. Maybe we should have, as it was higher on the priority. Lead to wrong size of tractor supplied by the other group and a way too large garage in reply. Too high velocity planned, didn’t take fetching parts into the account, which took longer than expected due to all the people. It also took time to organize people and to figure out scale of buildings Sprint 2 Re-done garage and canoes. Positive Lower velocity to 15 from 20 lead to us being able to rebuild the garage (13pts) and add in the small user story for canoes as well (2pts). Also because a member disappeared We did not accept new requirements during the sprint. Might have been more due to being irritated than knowing what we were doing. Communication in the group worked very well and splitting up the tasks was fast. As we had already collected the needed parts in the last sprint we didn’t have to spend as much time on that. Except for the canoes. Communicated with Product...

...1. The text talks about the different strategies companies use to excel in business; however, if these strategies are not impl ied in the right manner, they tend to loose customers and go out of business. There are various marketing strategies and objectives that are used in marketing products. If a company pays more attention to its competitors and fails to acknowledge the needs of the customers, then that company is destined to go out of business. Wal-Mart, McDonalds and Microsoft are few names mentioned as market leaders in Kotler and Armstrong’s text (Armstrong, G; Kotler, P; Marketing Principles, 13th edition, pg 539).These companies deserve the title because of the strategies they use to recruit more consumers everyday. They have great innovation ideas like changing their price to meet the customers’ needs, introducing new products, and spending money on promoting their business (Armstrong, G; Kotler, P; Marketing Principles, 13th edition, pg 539). Amar Bose is very much interested in doing his research prior to manufacturing his products and making money. According to Forrester Research, Bose Corporation is considered the market leader in the technology industry. Amar Bose used different philosophy in inventing his products since he started his business. He committed his time researching and inventing new products that were not on the market (Armstrong, G; Kotler, P; Marketing Principles, 13th edition, pg 549).Because of this philosophy, he has been...
