After years of dramatic improvements in standards and tooling, many developers are still hesitant to invest too much time and energy into accessibility. There is a widespread myth in the industry that it will be hard work, and that few users would value it anyway.

In this talk, Maia Miller (Accessibility Consultant) & Chris Simon (TDD Trainer) will bust this myth wide open with a combo of live coding and experience of building more accessible and usable websites.

Test-Driven Development encourages writing tests that express the intent of user-meaningful outcomes and coupling those tests to stable public interfaces of the code. For a front-end, the most stable interfaces that capture the user's intention are the accessibility APIs.

Join Maia & Chris and learn how to combine the magic of TDD and accessibility to spend less time building better quality sites that are usable by more people.
