RailsConf 2017: Accessibility (when you don't have time to read the manual) by Katie Walsh

For some, making web applications accessible is a must; Government websites fall under Section 508 and retail sites need to reduce legal risk.

But for others it seems like a luxury; Consultants are expensive, and so are the developer hours spent trying to parse the notoriously hard-to-read WCAG 2.0 docs.

There is an easier way to start!

In this session, we will demystify the WCAG 2.0 basics. We’ll use Chrome Accessibility Dev Tools to discover and fix common issues. You will leave with a set of free and easy-to-use resources to start improving the accessibility of your application today.
