Course Overview
Achieve WCAG compliance by learning accessibility testing, WAI-ARIA, and website optimization for screen readers
This course has professional captions (subtitles) for all lectures.
Successful web developers come in all shapes and sizes, but an understanding and respect for all of the different people they're developing for is crucial. If you want to jump from a "good" to a "great" web developer, you must know web accessibility!
This course is your practical, step-by-step guide to creating accessible websites and web interfaces. At the end of this course, you will be able to make your portfolio accessible and offer your clients a website upgrade that adheres to web accessibility standards! In addition, since all government websites must be accessible, you will have the skills to work in that field and gain access to a greater amount and variety of clients!
We will start with the basics--WAI-ARIA, color accessibility, the tabindex, HTML semantics, etc--and then make a real life website accessible step by step.
Are you ready to begin your journey into web accessibility? Start here!
Students are encouraged to contact the instructor with any guideline questions for fully fledged help and course support.

Indicazioni utili e molto semplificate ed accessibili. Non ho ancora la possibilità di applicare le nozioni acquisite. In futuro ne terrò conto.

This course is disorganized and unprofessional. There's choppy editing. In some cases (Section 3, #17-18), the instructor is still speaking and the video abruptly ends. You can hear music playing in the background of another video (Section 3, #13). The topics bounce around without much depth, the instructor citing often to "look it up" or "ask somebody" rather than providing concrete guidance on the subject matter she's trying to teach. In one instance, she said "This element is horrible and you should never use it because it's just stupid." I got zero value out of this course.

Poor exemples. Sometimes too focused on design, but it s supposed to be for front-end developers. So, not our job to update the design. Order of course is quite confusing, not well structured. Tag elements, aria label, icons, then links again. We only discover how javascript can help at the very end, but not for basic cases... Couple of aria attributes and used are explained on the fly during the long javascript project at the end, but they would need a dedicated section End this final javascript project focuses more on javascript than web accessibility.
