Mobile A11y Talk: Accessibility without the 'V' Word
I was honoured in 2019 to be able to give my first full conference talk at CodeMobile. I was then lucky enough to be able to repeat that talk at NSLondon, NSManchester, and SWMobile meetups.
As an iOS developer, I know accessibility is important for a huge range of people. But at times I think I can treat it like an afterthought. Accessibility Without the āVā Word covers a skill I think we as software engineers would benefit from developing - empathy towards our users. Remembering that everyone who uses our software is different, and have different abilities, experiences, and requirements. VoiceOver is an essential tool for many of our customers, but it’s not the only thing we should consider with accessibility.
YouTube hosts the SWMobile talk and the CodeMobile talk and I thank both groups for recording and uploading them.
Each version of the talk was slightly different, but if you would like to follow along grab the CodeMobile slides.
