Book Description
In today's rapidly changing technological world, it is increasingly important that web and desktop applications be accessible to everyone, including those of us with special needs. However, the legal requirements for accessibility are often convoluted and diffucult to understand, making it impossible for most developers to comply with the laws. In the first book on the market to address the topic, Author John Paul Mueller leads you through the maze of Section 508the congressional law ensuring that all Americans have access to information technologyand offers comprehensive guidance on how to quickly and easily update your applications to conform to Section 508 requirements.
To begin, Mueller outlines the Section 508 requirements that are relevant to web and desktop application developers, and explains the laws in language you can understand. Using extensive and varied program examples, Mueller continues on to teach you to write web and desktop applications that not only conform to Section 508 standards, but look forward to ensure long-term universal accessibility for all types of computer users. Specific topics include writing accessible web applications and desktop applications using Visual Basic .NET and Visual C# .NET, developing special application capabilities, using Microsoft and other third-party tools to develop accessible features, developing accessible scripting solutions, and more. The book even includes a directory of helpful organizations, agencies, and resources to help you with any further accessibility concerns you may have.

Section 508 Compliancy,
By William Haugen - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Accessibility for Everybody: Understanding the Section 508 Accessibility Requirements (Hardcover)
Not the "How To" I was hoping for, but a lot of useful information nonetheless. I am responsible for Section 508 compliance at work and deal mostly EI&T rather than the physical applications, but this has a lot of good information as to what to plan for and how to avoid many problems regarding accessibility issues. Worth the price, but use it as a reference along with other publications such as those by Karen MaCall.
