Coding For Accessibility: Best Practices from the Front Lines
Web accessibility is no longer something we can afford to ignore or put off for a future date. It’s no longer just a nice, human idea – now it’s a legal requirement. Through a combination of assistive technology demonstrations and markup examples in a number of web languages, you will see firsthand what works and what doesn’t. We’ll tackle the biggest accessibility pitfalls, talk about how to make the tough decisions, and go beyond the code to understand the real people who benefit from accessible sites, apps, and software.
CONNECT.TECH is the largest multi-framework front-end conference in the USA.
A premium Web/HTML/CSS, Mobile, and Design conference at a community conference price!
