Heads up! This is a remote meetup taking place over Zoom - Please RSVP for the URL.

This month we welcome Léonie Watson for a fantasic talk on accessibility:

Technologic (Human Afterall): Accessibility mix

With a little help from Daft Punk, Léonie will explain accessibility
mechanics in the browser, why CSS isn't just about looking good, and
what tools you can use to get ahead of the game.

When you use HTML the browser handles a lot of things for you. It
exposes semantic information to accessibility APIs on the platform, and
provides focus and interaction. But what do you do when using proper
HTML isn't possible?

Once upon a time CSS let us separate design and structure, but in recent
years the streams have started to cross again. CSS can change the way
content is exposed by the browser, often with unexpected consequences.
But does this matter in the real world?

When you're sprinting for a deadline, rapidly iterating code and using
frameworks and build tools to make it happen, accessibility can feel
like one thing too many. So how the hell do you keep your code
accessible as you go?

We can't wait to see you all. Please RSVP and you'll get the Zoom link :)
The meetup will be recorded live and uploaded to our Youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsER6TPxEaNY3L3LJZs2K5A
