Inclusive Components — Accessible web interfaces, piece by piece

by Heydon Pickering

Inclusive Components examines common web UI patterns through the lens of inclusion. The aim is to find more accessible and robust solutions for the patterns we author, plug in, and use every day.
Each chapter tackles a single component, addressing how different and vulnerable people might read and interact with it, and how they can be better accommodated. The in-depth explorations are meticulously illustrated and code examples culminate as working demos.
Inclusive design is not about wrong and right, but bad to better. You'll learn plenty of tips from Inclusive Components, but you'll also adopt the mindset to go on and make even better components.

I'm not used to thinking this way about frontend components, about how accessible it is.
This should be something all devs at least know something about (as I can assure you: this is hardly the case).
It does complicate things that I used to consider easy, though.
That's why I appreciate the examples that show how things can be done, explaining why in the process.
There's also this smashed.by website that contains the whole example.

Could use some editing as sometimes things are referenced as if they are printed, but they are not in the book.

I refuse to rate this book. This is the case, like the book, **** the author. I used to look up to the author until he went completely bananas and now I'm on the way out of web industry, so I'll probably donate this book.

Incredibly light reading considering how much quality content it contains.

Fue una buena lectura. Necesario conocer un poco más de la parte técnica para sentirse atrapado pero estuvo bien.
