I'm looking at developing a Web Accessibility course for XML people and
publishing people.

Are you interested?

Attendees should have some basic HTML and CSS knowledge; topics will
(probably) include -

* short intro with talking points for why accessibility matters, and
universal access

* the Web by keyboard - what to do when you can't mouse, and what Web
authors have to do to make this work well

* Making the audible Web - avoiding the interminable with semantic
markup, skip links and CSS Grid

* Considerations for Collaborative Pages - similar experiences for 
distributed folks

* Responsive Hamburgers - every person, every place, every device

* Markup for accesibility - what to do differently in your XML source
documents, where needed

* colours, sizes, optical illusions, people have different eyes

* images, pictures, figures & captions

* JavaScript and ARIA and principles to do and not do

* typefaces, and sites that work with Web fonts disabled, images
disabled, JS disabled

* main sites for resources, and how to read the specs

* Appendix - the crazy jargon so you can search effectively

Feel free to reply directly.


Other upcoming courses -
* XSLT two  to three in December (room for two more people i think)

* XSLT one booster - for people using XSLT 1 who want to move to XSLT 2
or 3, this gives an overview of new features and new ways of working;
half day

* Schematron : testing the water (in development)

* Under the Hood: How the Web Works (half day, with extended QA)

* CSS for XML People (two days - see
