About The Book The web is full of interfaces that leave people out. Of course it's not designers' malicious intent or developers' lack of empathy that bring us there though. It's just really difficult to foresee a wide range of situations in which our users might find themselves in. We need to build robust and reliable solutions in a world that's inherently chaotic and unpredictable. Where do we even start? Because we often build and deploy under tough deadlines, we tend to break accessibility without even noticing it. Our products become slower, clunkier and more painful to use — often simply unbearable for keyboard- and screen reader users, and as such fragile and vulnerable for legal disputes. Let's fix it. 
Meet Inclusive Components, our new book on accessible interface components. Get the book right away.
We've teamed up with Heydon Pickering, a seasoned front-end developer with a focus on accessibility, to examine common web UI patterns through the lens of inclusion. The result is a dozen of accessible and robust solutions for the patterns we author, plug in, and use every day. Jump to table of contents. The in-depth explorations are meticulously illustrated and code examples are available as bulletproof code snippets, applicable to your work right away. Plus a strategy for building your own components in a more accessible way, too. Download a sample PDF (1.1 MB). 332 pages. Quality hardcover + eBook (PDF, ePUB, Amazon Kindle). Worlwide shipping starts early December. Written and designed by Heydon Pickering. Get print + eBook. Table Of Contents Each chapter tackles a single component, addressing how we might read and interact with it, and how we can make the component more reliable and robust for every single customer. You'll learn how to build: - collapsible sections (free PDF, 1.1 MB),
