I have read some articles such as accessibility principals, about WCAG documentation structure and the links that are followed there.

Now i have these questions.

Did I understand correctly that aria recommendations are used when there are more complicated situations when wcag cannot be used and aria suggests attouching roles to items that are inaccessible? Or how does it work?

As far as I understood after reading the mailing list, it is necessary to know html5 and /javascript.

Did i understand it correctly?

Are the mozilla web developer (mdn) courses for frontend developers good start to the topic for html5 and js?

I have started reading html5 course in mdn, however, i already have some knowledge of html, these courses are really useful to me because i learned about atributes.

So, did I understand it correctly that I need to learn html5 and javascript before diving into wcag and aria? In which cases aria is used? Thank you in advance!
