Accessibility can Simplify Your Front End Process with Mark Noonan

When translating a design into code, front end developers face a LOT of decisions - everything from what elements to use and how to split things into components to filling design gaps for responsive behavior is on the the table. Accessibility can feel like an extra set of decisions that makes this even more complicated. In this talk we will look at what happens when we use accessibility as a starting point to implement designs. Focusing on the underlying patterns in a design can guide us to maintainable implementations based on existing best practices. This reduces how much we need to decide and invent on the fly while working and helps us focus on the important stuff.
