About accessibility
Throughout this course, we'll focus on making websites and accessible applications - usable by anyone, anywhere, anytime. It's a matter of social justice, a matter of designing for all users, and a matter of professionalism.
According to Wikipedia:
Web accessibility refers to the inclusive practice of removing barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to websites, by people with disabilities. When sites are correctly designed, developed and edited, all users have equal access to information and functionality.
