Understanding the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
By Jennifer Grenier Diaz

Understanding the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG is an important step towards ensuring your web content is accessible. However the document is very detailed and can be intimidating if you are unfamiliar with its structure. This talk will discuss what WCAG is, how it is structured, and how to reference it while you are writing code. Some accessibility knowledge is helpful but not required to attend.
