Description
There are various UI Libraries to build components like modals, tooltips, and grids to people who don’t spend a lot of time writing front-end code.
Geeks always like to rewrite the code to satisfy the objective of sleeknes, performance etc.
But One thing most of them forget is the inclusion of Person with Disabilities and other devices like Mobile, Tablets, TV etc.
While Responsive design helps to adapt to different screen resolutions , it is upon the developers shoulders to make the widgets usable to EVERYONE.
This Session will explain on what is required to make it accessible and how to do them

Anything they would like to take the notes on..

Prem, happy to see that you are going to be talking about accessibility.
I think that your talk should focus briefly on "Why Accessibility", as I am not sure whether it's as ubiquituously understood as we would like.
Also, could you share links to any previous presentations that you have given?

Hi Rahul, I wanted to cover the Things to Do for Web Accessibility as a JavaScript developer. Topic's like what is Accessibility, why Accessibility has been covered by many.. But my concern is the lack of Widget accessibility by new libraries..
