- Practical Guide to Unlocking Accessibility of Websites
by Nurhak Kaya
In this hands-on session, we’ll dive into using powerful tools like WAVE to identify and address accessibility issues on your website. Learn how to use these tools to spot common barriers, from missing alt text to improper heading structure, and take actionable steps to improve your site’s accessibility. We’ll cover the basics of accessibility testing, how to interpret WAVE reports, and prioritize fixes to make sure your website is inclusive for all users. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to streamline your accessibility workflow, this session will provide practical guidance you can apply right away. - Why am I being such a git about best practices?
by Joe Glombek
Why am I being such a git about best practices?
Are your git repos a dumping ground for code? I'm really fussy about how people use git - and that's a good thing. We'll take a look at branching strategies, the importance of commit messages and how often should you commit, anyway? Let's investigate how, with 5 simple tips, we can turn a code dump into a glorious archive of software and how this can save time, frustration and money.
As always, free food and drinks will be provided! 🍕☕🍵🍻
