The unpredictability of the web medium has always presented a challenge to web designers and developers. Differing web standards support and other variables are less of a pain than they used to be on desktop, for sure. The new unpredictability comes from the huge variety of alternative browsing devices we have to think about, including mobile phones of greatly differing ability, tablets, TVs, and more, with different control mechanisms, and different contexts of use. How do we adapt and move forward in this new age?

This upcoming standards>next event will help you on your way! You just need to bring yourself along, get chillin’, and listen to real web designers and developer share their hard-earned experience of building flexible/mobile apps and sites, from the trenches of the web industry.

• Garry Byrne – The mobile/devices landscape
• Patrick H. Lauke – Adapt and respond (adaptive layouts and control
  mechanisms)
• Matt Wilcox – Adaptive images
• Rachel McCollin – Making CMSes go mobile
• Erskine design – Responsive design: stories from the coalface

The event will take place in the Assembly Hall, John Dalton building, across the road from Kro Bar on Oxford Road. There is free parking on the corner of Cambridge Street and Chester Street. We’d like to thank the Department of Information and Communications at Manchester Metropolitan University for their help in organising and providing the venue.
