β¦ Synopsis
The power of the Web lies in the fact that anyone and everyone can access it. However, this should also extend to users with disabilitiesβaccessibility is about making websites accessible to those with aural, visual, or physical disabilities, or rather, constructing websites that don't exclude these people from accessing the content or services being provided. This is the right thing to do morally, plus there are legal requirements for web sites to be accessible in certain cases, such as public sector web sites. So there are two distinct audiences that will want to buy this book: Web Developers and Designers: This book teaches them how to use their chosen technologies to create and validate accessible content, including XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, PDFs, and Flash. That covers a very large potential audience. Business managers: This book teaches them what impact web accessibility will have on their businesses; also a large potential audience. It is written by some of the top names in web accessibility, like Jim Thatcher, Shawn Lawton Henry, Andrew Kirkpatrick, and Cynthia Waddell. Cynthia is the world authority on the legalities of web accessibility, so we can guarantee that the book will be legally accurate. There is no competition available that is up to date for the new accessibility guidelines (such as WCAG 2.0) and technology versions (such as Flash 8.)
