Everyone should be an accessibility expert

Accessibility is one of the fundamental concepts of the web as invented by Sir Tim Berners Lee:

The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect.

That’s why accessibility knowledge should, too, be universally taught and known. And while there are a lot of resources available online, many are out of date and much advice is contradicted by other experts. Long story short, as with every topic, from politics to JavaScript, the world of accessibility isn't black or white. As Tomas Caspers boilt it down in 2007:

Unfortunately, the biggest hurdles on the way to a more accessible web are myths that are based on outdated assumptions or, worse, by hearsay.

To change this, we provide the workshop and this blog which should be regularly updated, as well as the documentation. The documentation will have short articles that support the workshop contents. Most articles will be available to attendees only, but I will make them available to the general public over time.

Book the workshop :-)
