Weekly Civic Hack Night plus speaker Matthew Arana on accessibility

Before we get started hacking this week, we have an opportunity to learn about accessibility from guest speaker Matthew Arana, Senior Accessibility consultant at SSB BART Group.

"The goal of a web site/application is one which can be used by all its visitors. Inaccessible web sites/applications pose significant barriers to people with disabilities. By understanding the most common issues, web content can be made accessible by everyone."
