Progressive Enhancement with ARIA [Carsonified HTML & CSS Online Conference]Aaron Gustafson
Designing and developing with accessibility in mind has numerous benefits: it makes your website usable by everyone, it makes your content inherently more search engine friendly, and it makes providing context-sensitive interfaces (e.g. mobile) even easier. In this session, Aaron Gustafson will provide you with a quick refresher on progressive enhancement and show you where the Web Accessibility Initiative's Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) spec fits into it all. Throughout the talk, Aaron will provide numerous examples of how to weave ARIA into your projects and how to use ARIA, in concert with JavaScript, to dramatically enhance the usability of client-side widgets.
There are many accessibility rules and several sets of accessibility guildelines. Developing an accessible website is hard. Drupal can help you.
The most important thing Drupal does for your website, is that by default it makes sure your website is not inaccessible. The road to accessibility is much longer though. We'll step through several processes you can put in place to ensure accessibility of a website.
This session will introduce the different accessibility guildelines. What they are, which ones you should pay close attention to and how they apply to a website. We'll see which components of the accessbility rules relates to Drupal as a CMS, which parts relates to editors and webmasters and different tools you can use with Drupal to help you ensure a website stays accessible over time.
Dynamic Injection of WAI-ARIA into Web Content #w4a13Simon Harper
WAI-ARIA enables Web developers to make dynamic content accessible to users of assistive technologies (ATs) but there remain many sites on the Web that do not use it. Unfortunately the default behaviour of ATs when handling such pages is often sub-optimal, leaving users struggling to use the content. We present ACup: a flexible approach that injects JavaScript into the page to detect and classify any changes to the Document Object Model (DOM). These changes are then presented to the user using a WAI-ARIA live region that was injected when the page was loaded. The style of presentation varies according to the characteristics of each update (using rules previously bound to be effective) and can simply be changed, for example to test novel presentation approaches, or to apply a more fine-grained classification. This may be used to enable AT users to benefit more rapidly from advances in user-interface design.
Presented at the 10th International Cross-Disciplinary Conference on Web Accessibility – 13-15th May 2013 – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Web accessibility refers to the inclusive practice of removing barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to, websites by people with disabilities. When your website is inaccessible, research shows you could be excluding up to 20 percent of your visitors from interacting with your content and functionality. If your university website is inaccessible, you could be preventing access to education, student services, and more.
When your website is accessible, everyone can consume your information freely. Visually-impaired users can visit your website using a screen reader. Those who can’t use a mouse can navigate your site using a keyboard or other input device.
While creating accessible websites involves every step, including design and content, the foundation for good accessibility starts with good markup. Join my workshop to learn more about accessibility and how to program a high-quality user experience that is inclusive and beneficial to all.

It Takes A Campus To Raise A (Web Professionals) CommunityRachel Cherry
Every year, you look forward to the big HighEdWeb conference. You count down the days until October and then, high on that wonderful feeling of community, networking, and professional development, you return to your campus, ready to kick-start all of your new ideas. But the fun doesn’t have to stop just because you left Milwaukee. Conferences are a wonderful outlet for igniting your creative and collaborative juices, but you don’t have to be limited by your budget, and one or two annual trips, to engage with -- and find inspiration from -- your peers. You can have your own mini-conference every month by starting your own web professionals community right on your own campus. In this presentation, Rachel Carden will share how she started a web professionals community at The University of Alabama that went from a ten-member group that met every couple months at the campus coffee shop to a seventy-plus member community that meets every month to hear from presenters and discuss topics ranging from social media to crisis communication. All with no budget. This year her community, WebTide, also hosted and organized the HighEdWeb Alabama regional conference. Rachel will share what she did right, what she did wrong, and what she learned along the way, as well as tips and resources to start your own community and to help it flourish.
Battle of the Front-End Frameworks: Bootstrap vs. FoundationRachel Cherry
Responsive web design is a must these days but it can be a little tricky to make your design work on all devices and screen sizes, especially if you have to start from scratch each time. Front-end frameworks make it very easy to quickly create responsive, standard-complaint websites by providing a reusable structure (HTML, CSS, JS), with configurable components, that allows you to hit the ground running with minimum effort. And the two most powerful frameworks? Bootstrap and Foundation. Rachel has used both Bootstrap and Foundation with numerous WordPress projects and will not only show you how to get started using these frameworks, but will also present a comparison of these two systems and the differences you’ll face when using them to create a WordPress theme.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
