Conversations around web accessibility
Interviews with people involved in one way or another with web accessibility.
Second part of my interview with Vasilis, in which he tells us that he’s painted his car with a special paint which means his kids can draw on the car! And of course, we speak about accessibility some more.
This week, I talk with Vasilis van Gemert, a “reformed” front-end developer at a large agency who now teaches digital product designs to the next generation of designers and developers. He has a strong focus on accessibility.
The second part of my chat with Mark Palmer. Mark talks about the importance of the semantic web and how developers should learn how to write good HTML, how a lack of understanding is a barrier to accessibility and the importance of user research.
Interview with Mark Palmer, an accessibility consultant who works as part of the User Experience team in a large public sector organization in the UK. Mark and I talk about the importance of building awareness and education for developers, designers, and everyone involved in web development. We also discuss how difficult it can be to find the right accommodation because very often people with the same impairment have different needs.
Continuing our conversation with Sina Bahram. He discusses what’s coming in the next 3 to 15 years in terms of automation, the fact that we don’t really have an accessibility problem, we have an awareness problem, and new avant-garde tooks must be accessible.
Great conversation with Sina Bahram who focuses on Human Computer Interaction. We talk about achieving accessibility as a side effect as opposed to a goal in and of itself, and several great projects he’s been involved with.
I continue my conversation with Josh Simmons this week, and we speak about frustrations, conventional wisdom and inspirations.
In this part of the interview, we talk with Josh Simmons, a developer who turned to community management, working to connect and support Open Source communities.
In this part of the discussion with Denis Boudreau, we talk about achievements, frustrations, Artificial Intelligence, and more!
This is the first part of my interview with Denis Boudreau. Denis talks about his understanding of accessibility, the importance of not approaching it as a “checklist”, its place in the UI/UX continuum, how becoming a parent helped him become more empathetic, and more!
