Managing Plugin Accessibility for the Long Term: Joe Dolson
November 18 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Free
One common and frustrating experience for users with disabilities is when software they’ve depended on releases an update and loses its accessibility. It’s easy to imagine this is an isolated experience, but it’s shockingly common. Accessibility is never something you can just do once; it needs to be improved and maintained, even through major design refactors. Learn some methods for handling change and maintaining standards over time.
These meetups take place via Zoom and are live captioned. You must register to attend via Zoom.
