Accessibility in JavaScript Applications

Marcy Sutton
Gatsby

4 hours, 6 minutes CC

We can produce innovative and inclusive JavaScript-powered web apps! This course will teach you to remove barriers to access that might prevent people with disabilities from using a modern JavaScript web application. We’ll study accessibility in UI components, primarily with React and Gatsby.js, but with knowledge applicable to all JavaScript-heavy web stacks. Debug your sites for accessibility, manage keyboard focus, announce live updates to the page to screen readers, and use manual and automated testing to gain web accessibility superpowers!

This course and others like it are available as part of our Frontend Masters video subscription.
