    I'm looking at developing a Web Accessibility course for XML people and
    publishing people.

    Are you interested?

    Attendees should have some basic HTML and CSS knowledge; topics will
    (probably) include -

    * short intro with talking points for why accessibility matters, and
    universal access

    * the Web by keyboard - what to do when you can't mouse, and what Web
    authors have to do to make this work well

    * Making the audible Web - avoiding the interminable with semantic
    markup, skip links and CSS Grid

    * Considerations for Collaborative Pages - similar experiences for 
    distributed folks

    * Responsive Hamburgers - every person, every place, every device

    * Markup for accesibility - what to do differently in your XML source
    documents, where needed

    * colours, sizes, optical illusions, people have different eyes

    * images, pictures, figures & captions

    * JavaScript and ARIA and principles to do and not do

    * typefaces, and sites that work with Web fonts disabled, images
    disabled, JS disabled

    * main sites for resources, and how to read the specs

    * Appendix - the crazy jargon so you can search effectively

    Feel free to reply directly.


    Other upcoming courses -
    * XSLT two  to three in December (room for two more people i think)

    * XSLT one booster - for people using XSLT 1 who want to move to XSLT 2
    or 3, this gives an overview of new features and new ways of working;
    half day

    * Schematron : testing the water (in development)

    * Under the Hood: How the Web Works (half day, with extended QA)

    * CSS for XML People (two days - see
      https://www.delightfulcomputing.com/
      for more details)
