Marcy Sutton - SeattleJS Conference 2017
summary
Talk argues that web accessibility is a civil right and gives concrete tools and failures: a broken Virgin America booking demo that skips keyboard and screen reader focus, a working Blackboard example that programmatically manages focus, and tooling like axe-core and axe-webdriverjs for automated tests plus the Chrome Accessibility Inspector and Selenium checks for focus. Covers safety (autoplay GIFs, recommends prefers-reduced-motion and gifJam), privacy (third‑party trackers, Shariff, opt‑outs for Google Analytics). Practical, tool-focused, actionable.
