- Testing Web Accessibility
Adrián Bolonio (Team Lead, willhaben)
When we develop a new web application, we often put a lot of work on the design, on making it beautiful and usable. In other words, we want our web app to be effective, efficient, and satisfying for the user. But a lot of times we don’t think about the user experience for people with disabilities, including people with age-related impairments. Web accessibility (a11y ) means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with websites and tools, and that they can contribute equally without barriers.” (Source: W3C - Web Accessibility Initiative).
My name is Adrián Bolonio. I’m an experienced Web Team Lead, Frontend Developer, and Web Accessibility (a11y) advocate. I'm from Spain, but since 2012 I've been living and working in Vienna (Austria). When I’m not at the office I enjoy a good read, working my way through any delicious recipe, and indulging my love for travelling to new places.
- User Manuals For Better Collaboration
Franziska Hauck (People Lead, Signavio / Freelance DevRel & Community Consultant)
User Manuals for teams - this sounds like an outrageous idea. What they do, however, is create empathy in an accessible way. They pave the way for mutual understanding and make collaboration easier.
In the talk, I will give examples and provide you with an easy-to-use template!
Franziska is a consultant for DevRel, community and communications.
Throughout her career, she has built programs with various groups such as expats, seekers of financial advice, crowd service agents and developers. Moreover, Franziska has worked for clients as a project and product manager, compiled reports and given talks on topics such as allyship. She blogs on http://fh-digital.org.
