Let’s get some reality on the web accessibility debate.
We all know about WCAG 1, we have all at least had a look at the associated checklists. If you are lucky you may have glanced at WCAG 2.
We all have been developing and designing our sites with semantic content, in compliance with W3C guidelines, using progressive enhancement for the interactive components, unobtrusive Javascript, and graceful degradation of the pages for legacy browsers. Maybe used some of the attributes of ARIA. Sure that’s a no brainer.
We know that doing this will solve most of the accessibility issues.

At BarCampPerth 2.0 stepped up again and presented. This time I wanted to push things a little, well a lot. I didn’t want the standard presentation. What I wanted was something entertaining with a defined takeaway message.
Now I really wanted to focus on an introduction to User Experience. But that can be a very dry and lets be honest, boring topic.
So I opted for a thematic talk following an information journey. The slides are on slideshare. There was a video recorded, so we shall see if it is encoded, if it is, it may give you a better insight than the transcript and slide set.
BarCamp Perth and PodCamp Perth were both a great success. Since then slowly but surely the BarCamp gnomes have been working away under the cover of darkness. So finally we can now can unveil:
BarCamp Perth 2.0.
