@BarnsleyDan @showroomcinema @drmonkeyninja Sorry no, we don't record the events. I think @drmonkeyninja might be doing it at another local meetup in the nearish future so you might be able to catch it there.

[#FrontEndSheff @FrontEndSheff]

At tonight's #FrontEndSheff at @showroomcinema we're learning why we need to care about accessibility with @drmonkeyninja

[#FrontEndSheff @FrontEndSheff]

Mr Motivator's (or @drmonkeyninja as he prefers to be know) key motivators for an accessible web:
- human
- economic
- punishable

[devolute @devolute]

TIL 1/12 men have red-green color-blindness. It's not just a horrible stylistic choice that makes you look like a cheap Christmas decoration, it's an #a11y gotcha.
Learning from @drmonkeyninja at @FrontEndSheff #FrontEndSheff

After a long summer, we're back next Thursday (26th Sep) with @drmonkeyninja on #a11y & 'Key motivators for an accessible web'. I wonder what they will be?
