| It's not a one-browser web anymore. You need to reach
audiences that use cell phones, PDAs, game consoles, or
other "alternative" browsers, as well as users with
disabilities. Legal requirements for assistive technologies
as well as a wide array of new browsing experiences means
you need to concentrate on semantics, alternate access
paths, and progressive enhancement.
Give your audience the power to interact with your content
on their own terms. It's the right thing to do, and with a
$100 billion a year market for accessible content, new laws
and new technologies, you can't afford to ignore
accessibility.
With this book, you'll learn basic principles and techniques
for developing accessible HTML, audio, video, and multimedia
content. In addition, you will understand how to apply the
principles you learn in this book to new technologies when
they emerge.
You'll learn how to:
Use best practices of accessibility to develop accessible
web content
Build testing into projects to improve results and reduce
costs
Create high quality alternative representations for your
audience
Add accessibility features to external media like PDF and
Flash
Negotiate the terrain of accessibility standards
Apply principles of accessiblity to new technologies as they
emerge
