The details of the first ever NZ SharePoint conference have been finalised.
“This will be the New Zealand conference to learn about SharePoint 2007 with expert local and international speakers presenting on topics that will help you understand and succeed with your SharePoint implementations and add real value to your organization and businesses.”
I’m quite excited to be presenting a session on Web Standards and accessiblity. This is something I’m quite passionate about and have done a fair amount of research on over the last couple of years. I plan to focus on public websites and the basics of accessibility and W3C compliance.
I wrote a blog post on this almost exactly two years ago. Some of the techniques are a little outdated now but I’ll be addressing that in my session.
The actual session brief is something along the lines of .....
Title: Web Standards, SharePoint and Accessibility - Yes you can.
Description: Web Standards, Accessibility, SharePoint. Many people are under the impression that these words don’t go together. In this session Zac will demonstrate how a public web site in SharePoint can be both accessible and adhere to W3C recommendations. A number of available tools will be evaluated including AKS 2.0 and ARF. Zac will also provide many tips and techniques for anyone looking to build a web standard compliant site in SharePoint.
Attendees should have a basic understanding of SharePoint Publishing Features and NZ Web Standards.
