Making a Completely In-accessible Web App Accessible

Accessibility can be hard, especially with the lack of practical tutorials about it.
So in this 1 hour and 20 minutes video, I give you a hands-on walkthrough showing how I transformed a completely in-accessible real web app (built with React.js) into an accessible one!

This is NOT just a simple landing page where we just need to throw some labels here & there.
This app is a small web game that has a couple of non-simple components that’ll require some special treatment to be made accessible.
But I think it will be really useful & fun to do that!!

So what you will see & learn in this video:
- Identifying accessibility issues in the app.
- Fixing keyboard navigation issues.
- Learn about "Roving Index" technique. What it is. Why is it useful.
- Fixing more keyboard navigation issues using Roving Index.
- Making the app usable for screen-readers users.
- And finally, a few small tricky things that you should be aware of to not waste a lot of time (like me)

So yeah, watch the video & I’m sure you’ll learn several new interesting things!
