This is the repository for the LinkedIn Learning course Accessible Layout for the Web. The full course is available from LinkedIn Learning.
Accessibility is an important, but often overlooked, aspect of web development. Developers need to create websites that are accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. In this course, developer advocate and web development instructor Gift Egwuenu teaches you how to create accessible websites by default. Learn about the importance of web accessibility. Find out how to identify and resolve common accessibility issues that may arise in your application. Go over ways to implement best practices for creating accessible layouts on the web. After completing this course, you will feel more equipped to build web applications for everyone, including those with disabilities.
This course is integrated with GitHub Codespaces, an instant cloud developer environment that offers all the functionality of your favorite IDE without the need for any local machine setup. With GitHub Codespaces, you can get hands-on practice from any machine, at any time—all while using a tool that you’ll likely encounter in the workplace. Check out the “Using GitHub Codespaces with this course” video to learn how to get started.
See the readme file in the main branch for updated instructions and information.
This repository has branches for each of the videos in the course. You can use the branch pop up menu in github to switch to a specific branch and take a look at the course at that stage, or you can add /tree/BRANCH_NAME to the URL to go to the branch you want to access.
The branches are structured to correspond to the videos in the course. The naming convention is CHAPTER#_MOVIE#. As an example, the branch named 02_03 corresponds to the second chapter and the third video in that chapter.
Some branches will have a beginning and an end state. These are marked with the letters b for "beginning" and e for "end". The b branch contains the code as it is at the beginning of the movie. The e branch contains the code as it is at the end of the movie. The main branch holds the final state of the code when in the course.
