Getting started with web accessibility with Ashlee Boyer

Video Description

Accessibility is a big topic that can seem hard to get into because there is so much to learn! Being far from an accessibility expert myself, but doing my best to learn more about it, I interviewed Ashlee Boyer to talk about what accessibility is, why it matters, and how we can get started with it without feeling overwhelmed. 🔗 Links ✅ Follow Ashlee on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AshleeMBoyer ✅ The a11y Project: https://www.a11yproject.com ✅ Tatiana Mac's article on prefers-reduced-motion: https://tatianamac.com/posts/prefers-reduced-motion ✅ WAI-ARIA authoring practices: https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.2 Spoon theory - https://happiful.com/what-is-the-spoon-theory/ ⌚ Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction 01:10 - Introduction to Ashlee 03:52 - What does "improve accessibility" mean? 05:32 - The four categories of disabilities 07:18 - Visual disabilities 09:14 - The importance of semantic HTML 10:49 - Auditory disabilities 13:35 - Motor disabilities 16:08 - Cognitive disabilities 20:37 - ARIA roles 24:17 - You don't have to learn it all at once 28:30 - Dark mode #a11y -- Come hang out with other dev's in my Discord Community 💬 https://discord.gg/nTYCvrK Keep up to date with everything I'm up to ✉ https://www.kevinpowell.co/newsletter Come hang out with me live every Monday on Twitch! 📺 https://www.twitch.tv/kevinpowellcss --- Help support my channel 👨‍🎓 Get a course: https://www.kevinpowell.co/courses 👕 Buy a shirt: https://teespring.com/stores/making-the-internet-awesome 💖 Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/kevinpowell --- My editor: VS Code - https://code.visualstudio.com/ --- I'm on some other places on the internet too!
