Software accessibility without the fuzz

Stage HUFF
Casey Kreer
We've all heard how important digital accessibility is, at this point. But how does one get started with this complex topic? Let's cover all the techy basics!
Software accessibility is important, we all know that by now. In the past years while working as an accessibility consultant, many people have asked me the very same question: How do I get started with this? I'm overwhelmed by all the different resources! Heck, I can't find anything useful! In all fairness, I get you. There's so much fuzz surrounding this. Social workers will feel right at home because of this, but frankly, for us techies, it just doesn't work that way. We would like to know what to do precisely, or at least dive deeper into a topic on our own terms. In this talk, I would like to give a brief overview over what's important only for programmers and where you can educate yourself further. We can do this together!

Vor einem Jahr veröffentlichte Correctiv die Recherche “Geheimplan gegen Deutschland”, die ein geheimes Treffen von Rechtsextremen, AfD-Funktionären und CDU-Mitgliedern enthüllte. Diese Enthüllung führte zu massiven Demonstrationen, während rechtsextreme Gruppen versuchten, das Geschehen zu relativieren. Die politische Reaktion blieb jedoch verhalten, und die AfD setzte die demokratischen Parteien weiter unter Druck. In diesem Vortrag gibt Jean Peters, leitender Reporter der Recherche, ...

In a world dominated by digital communication and the drive toward linguistic unification, the simple act of 'typing' varies significantly across languages and writing systems. For European languages like English and German, typing typically involves a set of about 100 letters and symbols. In contrast, Japanese—and by extension, Okinawan—requires three distinct scripts: hiragana, katakana, and kanji. Each of these adds layers of complexity and cultural depth to written expression.
