W3C

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international community where Member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to develop web standards. W3C is the organization that established and manages WCAG, and there is additional information on their site about accessibility and how people with disabilities use the web.

Mozilla Accessibility Lessons

Mozilla maintains great developer documentation and has lessons specifically geared toward understanding accessibility and making the web more accessible. If you want to learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, this is a great place to start as Mozilla has lessons on those topics as well. You can work through the accessibility lessons and the code lessons in tandem, if needed.
