Learn JavaScript Accessibility with jQuery and Deque in the new year.
Deque is proud to partner with jQuery to make the web more accessible! jQuery, a feature-rich JavaScript library, offers developers a fast and versatile way to create dynamic web pages. Deque is now the official accessibility partner for jQuery, with the goal to equip jQuery developers and contributors with the necessary knowledge and tools to create code that is accessible for all people, regardless of ability.
JavaScript Accessibility Summit: January 16-17, Washington, DC
Javascript Accessibility Summit, October 2013
As part of the ongoing partnership, Deque is sponsoring a jQuery Accessibility Summit for developers and contributors. Our first summit, (held October 10-11 at Deque headquarters in Herndon, VA) was an overwhelming success, and we are very pleased to announce that we will again be hosting this summit at Deque headquarters on January 16-17, 2014. This special 2-day event will cover the most common web accessibility issues encountered in jQuery UI and jQuery Mobile, options available to remedy the most common accessibility problems found in applications that use jQuery, and techniques needed to make jQuery components accessible.
