SADIe - Exposing Implicit Information to Improve AccessibilityDarren Lunn
The World Wide Web (Web) is a visually complex, multimedia system that can be inaccessible to people with visual impairments. SADIe addresses this problem by using Semantic Web technologies to explicate implicit visual structures through a combination of an upper and lower ontology. This is then used to apply accurate transcoding to a range of Websites. To gauge the effectiveness of SADIe's transcoding capability, a user was presented with a series of Web pages, a sample of which had been adapted using SADIe. The results showed that providing answers to fact based questions could be achieved more quickly when information was exposed via SADIe's transcoding. The data obtained during the experiment was analysed with a randomization test to show that the results were statistically significant for a single user.

Preparing For The Flood. How Do You Conduct Load Testing To Ready Your WordPr...WordCamp Sydney
So, Beyonce, unbeknownst to you, decides to wear your shirt. A paparazzi snaps her casually walking down Rodeo Drive with it.
Suddenly your site explodes and you’re getting angry emails from crazed Beyonce fans about not being able to access it.
What happened?! Was it the dreaded DDoS monster? Or did something even worse happen? You went viral…
When your WordPress site finally goes live, it’s likely that you’ve probably spent weeks or even months building, iterating and debating about it.
The last thing you’re thinking about is testing it.
But if you plan on succeeding on the most important days of your business and site, like a function room, you need to understand how many people can fit in it, otherwise you could be leaving thousands on the table when your site goes down.

Interface design is not something that belongs solely in the world of Apple. Your website and applications can all benefit greatly from an understanding of how your users might navigate your product.
Presented At the Sydney NETUG on August 18th by Adam Cogan
Making simple, elegant solutions is HARD and often invisible. These are some of the most common things I hear come out of people’s mouths when heading for a bad UX decision.
Are you looking for creating your own website? If so, then you must be aware with the principles of creating an effective website design. Make sure your website is responsive, creative and does not hold unnecessary details.
A web app that’s difficult to figure out, unintuitive, or inefficient is not going to win many hearts. But designing a user-friendly interface is hard. On top of the usual design problems like picking the right colors and creating a proper content structure, you need to also be aware of the bigger picture.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

1. 5 UI Tips for Web Apps
By Justin James
Keep users top of mind when you’re developing a Web app’s UI. Justin James presents guidelines
to follow that will make for a better user experience.
1: JavaScript/AJAX should not override basic browser controls
Recently, I was using one of my bank’s websites, and I noticed some peculiar behavior. There was
a date field, and when you clicked it, a calendar popped up; at the same time, the cursor in the date
box was active. I tried to use the “Backspace” key to clear out the existing data, but instead of
working as if I was in the input box, my browser behaved like I wasn’t and sent me to the previous
page.
This is bad behavior, and I see it all too often. Using these JavaScript and AJAX controls can
bring a lot of the desktop-like UI experience to the Web app sphere, but you should make sure that
the expected browser behavior is not broken in the process.
2: Proper form behavior
If there is one thing that annoys visitors, it is being presented with a large number of input fields
but the TAB button does not go from one field to another in the expected order. Along the same
lines, it is also annoying when the Enter button does not submit the form at all, or it acts as if a
button other than “Submit” was clicked for the current form.
Always test your forms (especially ones with many input controls) to ensure that the TAB order is
correct and that the Enter button submits the form as expected.
3: Don’t use images for text
When the Web was young, people went nuts trying to get the “perfect” Web layout. The “solution”
was often to make the site one big image and slice it up. After a while, reality set in, especially
bandwidth, and developers stopped doing this. But as bandwidth has gotten cheap and plentiful,
many sites are slowly going back to using text on images all over the place to preserve their
layout.
Resist the temptation! Not only is this text invisible to search engines and the tools that people
with disabilities use to browse the Web, but as more and more Web access is done on mobile
devices, the bandwidth and speed issues are coming back as a concern. Stick with plain text
wherever possible.
4: Not too wide
2. For a long time, I’ve been a fan of the “liquid layouts,” which are UIs that expand and shrink
depending on the user’s devices capabilities. I still advocate these layouts. That said, I learned to
limit the amount of horizontal width to consume. Anything past a certain width (about 1,000
pixels) is too big. At more than 1,000 pixels or so, the page is so big that the user can’t see it all
even with peripheral vision, and has to move their eyes all over the place. And if they try reading
wide chunks of text, they easily lose their place on the page as they scan.
So yes, you should use a liquid layout, but restrict the overall size so that it does not consume
100% of the horizontal real estate on a large monitor.
5: Don’t collapse things, except in rare occasions
As Web apps look more like desktop apps, it has become stylish to make portions of the screen
collapse and expand — and this technique does have its place. For example, it is a good idea in
FAQs, as long as it is done in a way that search engines can see the text and index it. At the same
time, when you hide important (or even semi-important) UI elements with a small arrow icon to
allow expansion, most people will overlook it.
Remember that 1,000 pixel guideline? That’s a good place to use some of that extra space, as long
as the usage is narrow. Keep your main area limited to around 1,000 pixels and make a small (150
pixels wide) sidebar tacked onto the side to provide space for UI elements that you would be
tempted to make a collapsible area. Incidentally, this applies to menus as well; users really dislike
the dropdown navigation menus that have become so popular. The dropdown navigation menus
are difficult to use, and for people without a mouse (mobile users, disabled users) the menus are
virtually impossible to use.
