DrupalCon Vienna 2017: JavaScript and Accessibility: Don't Blame the Language

This talk addresses the widespread misconception that JavaScript applications are inherently inaccessible. The speaker, a completely blind JavaScript developer, challenges this belief and emphasizes that the issue lies not with JavaScript itself, but with the way it is often implemented in development. Key topics include the origins of the accessibility myth, common pitfalls leading to inaccessible applications, and how modern frameworks like React can streamline accessibility in client-side development. Attendees will gain valuable insights on ensuring their JavaScript applications are inclusive and universally accessible.
