Make your Open Source More Open – Conquering the Accessibility Challenge
“Accessibility” online can have many definitions and contexts. For most developers, we fall into the trap of thinking adding alt text to images is enough to make our websites “accessible.” What can you do to provide a quality interface that truly meets the needs of users?
Does your jQuery crash accessible browsers? Can users find their way around your applications? Does FireFox read the entire menu at the start of every page?
Join Ed Schipul, CEO of Tendenci, and blind motivational speaker Rachel Magario, Assistive Technology Specialist at PACER Center’s Simon Technology Center, and moderator Becky Leven as they discuss what accessibility online really looks like to both developers and visually impaired end users.
This session will cover best practices, testing, and pitfalls to avoid in implementing accessible web and program design. You will walk away with actionable tips you can use in your development projects as well as a new mindset on how to approach accessibility.
