Accessibility & iOS Apps

Join us on November 16 as Ash Furrow (http://ashfurrow.com/about/) will be speaking about iOS apps, devices and his experience with accessibility.

We are really excited about this presentation as we think it complements Jason's presentation greatly. At our last meetup Jason Fayre talked the user's perspective on mobile accessibility and we believe this upcoming meetup will complement that greatly with the developer's perspective.

Ash Furrow is the lead iOS developer at 500px.com (http://www.500px.com), his greatest work being done on the 500px ipad app. At FITC Screens he recently presented the story of building a native photo application (http://www.fitc.ca/events/presentations/presentation.cfm?event=134&presentation_id=2044). Ash co-authored a book (http://www.apress.com/9781430243687), contributed to open source projects on GitHub (https://github.com/AshFurrow) and has a life-long obsession with learning. He has been dedicating some of this learning to accessibility and even brought up the subject of apps accessibility in one of his podcast episodes (http://themasterbranch.com/2012/03/episode-twelve/).

You can find out more about Ash on his personal website - ashfurrow.com (http://www.ashfurrow.com)
