As promised, here are the notes I made in preparation for my Inclusive Mobility Core Conversation at SXSWi 2011. I didn’t need to rely on these too much as people actively participated and asked questions! General: Talk is about making mobile applications accessible for ALL.

SXSW – Final Interactive Day
I supported my friends at two accessibility talks today. First was Accessibility for the Visually Impaired: Ground Breaking New Technologies.

She was a very dynamic speaker and started by listing the 3 C’s to consider: Creativity Consciousness Collaboration She said she would be talking about three different gaming models – Posit Science […]
SXSW – Day 3
Sorry, these posts are so long winded. I hope they provide at least some useful info!

Working with disabled (the attribute)
Once again I was bitten by the manner in which the difference browsers report the value of the disabled attribute. I decided to test the different ways of using the disabled attributes and record my results. When writing JavaScript I generally use the object.getAttribute("attributeName") syntax to get an attribute value. However, this will return very […]
