#A11y Rules PodcastConversations around web accessibility
Alex is a developer who has experienced the difference between baking in accessibility from the start compared to trying to retrofit accessibility into an existing project – which leads to a lot of trial and error and wasted time.
Becky talks about accessibility needing to be in the curriculum for all computer science courses – and I couldn’t agree more!
In this episode, Becky talks to us about how changes in technology has changed her perception of accessibility. She also tells us how she came to be so passionate about accessibility!
