What we're about

The Hitchhiker's Guide to... is a monthly meeting for creative software engineers. The group is not restricted to any technology. We discuss all things programming from backend, frontend and mobile development to devops and scaling a startup.

Every month on a Thursday evening there are two or three talks by developers on a specific topic. The free events take place at the Q42 offices in The Hague and Amsterdam. Bites and drinks are included.

This meetup series is an initiative by developers of digital product studio Q42 and its ventures LessonUp, Mibo, Hack The Planet and Micrio. Any topic you'd like to hear more about, or something to share yourself? Let us know!

The Hitchhiker's Guide to Accessible Apps

Q42

Do you want to learn more about making accessible apps?

On Thursday 6 April, accessibility engineers Johan Huijkman and Jan Jaap de Groot will tell you where to start when you want to make your app usable for the widest possible group of people, including people with disabilities.

Both Johan and Jan Jaap are initiators of https://appt.org, a new guide that empowers developers to build accessible and inclusive apps. The website offers current statistics about the use of accessibility features on mobile phones, code documentation for Android and other platforms, official guidelines, in-depth articles and tips.

During this meetup, Johan and Jan Jaap will share some of the knowledge they gathered on this platform. There's also plenty of room to ask them more about how to make your own app accessible.
