This year I learned: Sometimes you must *remove* an "alt" attribute from an "img" tag to make something accessible. (en)

* Angelos Chaidas, Software Engineer @ Adzuna

What happens when an experienced web developer (who naively thought he knew all about "a11y" (accessibility) gets to work together with no less than two external accessibility expert agencies in order to deliver a WCAG-2.1 compliant service to the UK government?

Is it as simple as adding a few "alt" attributes and "aria-\*" attributes to various elements? Or does it get much MUCH more complicated than this?
In this talk, we’ll skim the surface of what it means to develop an accessible service, from getting JAWS to behave, understanding how user acceptance testing becomes a herculean task after adding VoiceOver and Dragon to it, and how much *harder* development gets if you must deliver a compliant service.
And yes. We will remove some alt tags. You’ll see why.

Angelos has 20 years of experience in web development. He has happily spent the last 12 of those working as a frontend developer and UX designer in Adzuna. He loves all things HTML / CSS / JS and is probably one of the few people who actually enjoys delving into legacy jQuery monoliths and breaking them apart.

19:50 - 20:00
