About The Book

Accessibility has always been a slightly unsettling realm for developers. Surrounded with myths and misunderstandings, it used to be a domain for a small group of experts. Today, it's still unclear what makes up an accessible interface and what developers need to know to get there. Let's fix it.

Inclusive Design Handbook gets to the bottom of it all: accessibility myths and rules of thumbs, WAI-ARIA roles, content accessibility guidelines, landmark roles, keyboard and touch accessibility, accessible markup and interaction patterns, accessible forms and widgets, multimedia accessibility and inclusive prototyping. Everything you need to know about accessibility gathered in one practical, smashing book.

The book looks at common accessible interface patterns from the perspective of an inclusive designer and covers practical techniques, gotchas and strategies you need to be aware of when building accessible, inclusive interfaces.

Detailed table of contents. Available as print and eBook. With printed book, you get the eBook for free — but you knew it anyway, didn't you?
