Today we are talking about Accessibility with Rain Breaw Michaels. TalkingDrupal.com/316 Topics We are talking about Accessibility today, but specifically gearing the conversation towards developers. Why? So many people when coding for accessibility simply provide workarounds. Why can this be dangerous? What is ARIA? What is meant by the term Landmarks? How does this apply to dev’s working with Drupal? What modules do you recommend? How can you help content editors maintain accessibility while adding content? What are common pitfalls you see devs make How can Javascript help or hurt Accessibility? In closing, is there anything you would like to add?
