Course Overview
Starting with the impact vanilla JavaScript can have on accessibility, we then focus on the modern Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), looking at how to deploy Single Page Applications (SPAs) accessibly, how to tame focus and manage change announcements.
By thinking about accessibility and inclusion from the start you can prevent costly fixes at the end of a project, and also improve the user experience for everyone, not just your disabled customers.
What you will learn
- JavaScript and common accessibility issues
- Event Handling
- Native vs Custom Controls
- Progressive Enhancement
- Managing change and focus within SPAs
Attendees will receive a link to the recording of the training to watch back at your leisure after the event. (And you’ll always have access to the latest advice as we will update the content on the link when the training is repeated in the future.)
