What will be covered
Attendees will learn accessibility topics including:
- JavaScript and common accessibility issues
- Event Handling
- Native vs Custom Controls
- Progressive Enhancement
- Managing change and focus within SPAs
At the end of this course you will know how to:
- Use JavaScript in an accessible way, avoiding common mistakes
- Deploy SPAs accessibly
- Manage focus and announcements in a way that doesn't disorient users
Why you should attend
Our training helps your team deliver accessible and inclusive products and services first time, every time, by embedding best practice in your processes and offering valuable insights to every member of your teams.
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.
Who is this training for?
This course is primarily aimed at front-end developers, but may also be of interest to designers and managers who wish to better understand how certain design considerations may impact the overall development.
The level of training is advanced - you will require a knowledge of accessibility standards, coding and testing techniques.
