Elixir Ruhr

We're excited to announce our fourth Elixir Ruhr Meetup, and it's a special one: A collaboration with the Elixir Cologne Meetup, with barbecue at the 9elements rooftop terrace (if the weather allows).

As a speaker, we welcome Ariadne Engelbrecht. She is a software engineer at Inspired Consulting who came to code by way of carpentry and history - which may explain why she can't resist a well-built structure. She works across the whole stack, with a focus on functional programming, and a particular love for databases and accessibility.

Accessibillity by Design

Accessibility is often treated as a mere compliance checkbox or something the "UI people" worry about at the end of a project. In reality, it is a core quality attribute of software systems, and many of the biggest wins come from small decisions developers make every day.
In this talk, we look at accessibility through a Phoenix/Liveview lens, see where ARIA is needed and where native HTML already do the job.
The goal is not to make everyone an accessibility expert, but to make accessibility decisions a natural part of our everyday engineering work.
