So much geekery, so little time

[kestrell]

Yesterday I finished the online course about creating accessible documents, and I meant to just take a peek at the online syllabus for the course on accessible web design that I'm auditing.

Next thing I knew, I had read through the first unit on introductory HTML. Since I've created my own web pages off and on since the '90s, it's really just review for now, but it is meshing really well with what I just learned in the accessible documents course.

For my project web page, I'm going to create a list of resources on the subject of disability in speculative fiction, so if there are particular aspects to that subject that people would like to be able to find, please send suggestions my way.

You have reminded me...

...that I should get some kind of update on what little training I have on website coding.

Good idea re: accessibility in spec-fic. Expect me to refer people to you, okay?

Sure thing, refer away!

Also, if you know anyone who is using a screen reader with the GitHub site, I'm trying to figure out how to navigate with Jaws.

The instructor for my web design course, which is specifically for screen reader users, recommended getting a GitHub acct., and I'm trying to do the tutorial but some links and buttons are not labeled in a way that matches up with the instructions.

Hooray!

Pretty soon now you'll know all the things!

If by "knowing all the things" you mean having my to be read pile increase exponentially, then I will definitely be on the way to knowing all the things, because now I want to find an introductory coding course, and I've been wanting to refresh my knowledge of UNIX, or maybe I should...
