Does anyone know any great self-pace #courses on #accessibily for #frontend and #web development? I'd like to get better at it, especially in light of upcoming regulations in the #EU.

@amxmln I signed up to LinkedIn Premium for the courses on there. Definitely very well produced, and when you complete them, you get certificates/certification added to your account.

@astavrou I'm actually not sure myself, which is why I'd like to learn about them. πŸ˜…

Here's some info with further links: https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/web-accessibility

Web Accessibility

Web accessibility allows everyone, including people with disabilities, to perceive, understand, navigate and interact with the Internet.

@amxmln then check that out:
https://www.w3.org/WAI/fundamentals/

It is a good start. Also keep in mind that the ultimate goal is that all users should be able to interact with out any problem.
I am guessing that you are a designer so the first thing to take under consideration is colour contrast.

@astavrou thanks for the resource! I'm actually both a designer and a developer, so I'm definitely interested in both sides of the matter (they do go hand in hand after all). 😊
