Subject: [WebAIM] The AccDC Technical Style Guide is released for
developers and engineering students.

Please don't bite my head off if you see this more than once, I plan to
pass this around in case it's helpful to people.

The AccDC Technical Style Guide is designed to provide reliable and
consistent interaction designs that are accessible to the highest
percentage of people possible, and to establish a baseline for Functional
Accessibility that can be utilized, built upon, studied, and tested
against.

Functional Accessibility means that each component is fully accessible
from the keyboard, with or without a screen reader running.

The live TSG can be viewed at
http://whatsock.com/tsg
And the full TSG can be downloaded from GitHub, at
https://github.com/accdc/tsg

The full AccDC Technical Style Guide includes the interactive Coding
Arena, where developers and engineering students can gladiatorially hack
it out with the cut and thrust of accessible development!

In brief, the Coding Arena includes all of the following top level
categories, which branch off into specific implementation types:

Accordions
ARIA and Non-ARIA Tabs
ARIA Date Pickers
ARIA Listboxes
ARIA Menus
ARIA Radio Buttons
ARIA Sliders
ARIA Toggles, Checkboxes, Links, and Buttons ARIA Trees Banners Carousels,
Slideshows, and Wizards Drag and Drop Footnotes Inline Form Field
Validation and Dynamic Help Tooltips Modals Popups Progress Bars
Scrollable Divs Tooltips Web Chat and Dynamic Message Announcement

A more detailed breakdown of these categories is documented on the GitHub
page, at https://github.com/accdc/tsg

The AccDC Technical Style Guide also includes important information,
including ARIA pitfalls to be aware of, event triggering model differences
between screen readers, widget type variations and conceptual differences,
current screen reader incompatibilities, and key structural markup
instructions.

Best wishes,
