Book Review by: Michael J. Ross with Laura Andres
"In the preface to their book, the authors explain that the purpose of universal Web design is to make Web content "work as efficiently as possible across the range of capabilities exhibited by both people and their chosen browsing technologies." While it has little to do with efficiency per se, maximum Web usability is a laudable goal for every designer and developer of a website or Web-based application. The consensus in the Web design community is that the most effective way to achieve this goal is through adherence to accepted usability standards and design practices, and those are the topics that the authors explore in the eleven chapters that compose this book: an introduction; selling universal design; metadata; structure and design; forms; tabular data; video and audio; scripting; AJAX and WAI-ARIA; Rich Internet applications; and the universal design process."
