A friend of mine is looking for a university textbook on accessible web design to use in next
year's classes.
He's looked at "Effective Website Development" by Keith Darlington and
"Principles of Web Site Design" by Joel Sklar, but neither fully meets his needs.
Any ideas?
thanks
Kerry

How about the WebAIM Guide to Web Accessibility? It's more comprehensive
than any book you can buy, plus you don't have to lug around the 1,000+
pages because it's on CD. We have several people that are using it as the
text for their accessibility courses.

And, of course, there's Constructing Accessible Websites, by Jim Thatcher,
Cynthia Waddell, and a number of other great authors!
O - And I wrote some of it, too.
