<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>For those who want their Web sites to be accessible to those with aural, visual, or physical disabilities, this book gives an overview of the accessibility law and guidelines, and then offers a discussion about accessibility and its implementation in the enterprise. The authors go on to show how to implement accessible Web sites using a combination of concise reference and easy-to-follow examples.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The Challenge of Accessibility When Tim Berners-Lee created the Web, he had some very specific goals in mind. Certainly, creating a technology that allowed the sharing of information was a main part of that goal, but an interesting piece of Berners-Lee's vision has always had to do with the human side of the Web. After all, it's not machines that use the Web, but people. Accessibility has become a hot topic in web design, despite the fact that it has always been a part of the original vision. In a broad sense, accessibility simply means ensuring that a given page on the Web is able to be accessed. Accessibility is not about disability; rather, it's about people getting to the shared information that the vision of the Web has made manifest. There has also been a lot said about how accessibility relates to web standards and vice versa. Realistically, accessibility relies on aspects of related web standards, but has in fact become a science, art, and practice of its own. It's a deep specialty, and one that is highly problematic, as what might make a page accessible to one person could conceivably render it inaccessible to another.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Richard Rutter lives and works in Brighton, U.K. He is production director for the web consultancy Clearleft (www.clearleft.com).
