Elevator Pitch
There are 3 factors that can be used to measure usability: Ease of Use, Ease of Learning, and Ease of Recall. This talk discusses how we can leverage design and development to ensure Accessible User Experience
Description
As web developers we like to think that our hard work creating HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is what makes our sites so great. But this ignores the magic inside the modern browser. When the user’s browser receives your web page and all of its assets, your control of the situation entirely ceases. How your site really looks and operates is entirely in the hands of the browser.
This talk provides important technical insight into accessibility by describing the interactions between HTML/ CSS/ JavaScript, the DOM, the BOM, Accessibility APIs and Assistive Technologies.
