🔌 Debugging the Dev Life
Tue 14th – 11:50
Main Stage
Let’s be honest: even the best devs spend a lot their time feeling stuck. Sara and Kevin will ditch the slides to talk about how they navigate the “I have no idea why this isn’t working” moments. They’ll share when & why get stuck, and more importantly how they get unstuck again.
Have a specific technical headache? Add it to the board in the lobby and we’ll pull it live during the session.
Practical Accessibility Tips for Achieving More by Doing Less
Tue 14th – 14:00
When building interfaces, often we think about making them accessible when it's just a bit too late. What about baking accessibility into the front-end development from the start?
In this session, Sara will be building and refactoring common UI components, and share a couple of techniques she often uses to build with accessibility in mind. Even though she will be building only as many patterns as the time allows, you'll leave with many small but important and impactful strategies that you can apply to many other UI components, as well as to your design process and coding. From this sweet series of mini component-level case studies, you will learn how to think, and code, accessibly.
Sara will also be teaching an Front-End Accessibility workshop on Monday, April 13th.
