Pro HTML5 Accessibility helps designers come to grips with building exciting, accessible and usable web sites and applications with HTML5. The book covers how to use HTML5 in order to serve the needs of people with disabilities and older persons using assistive technology (AT). It aims to be a useful ‘go-to’ guide, providing practical advice. It takes several approaches, including a look at the new semantics of HTML5 and how to combine its use with authoring practices you know from using earlier versions of HTML. It also demonstrates how HTML5 content is currently supported (or not) by assistive technologies such as screen readers, and what this means practically for accessibility in your web projects.

The HTML5 specification is huge, with new APIs and patterns that can be difficult to understand. Accessibility can also seem complex and nuanced if you have no experience interacting with people with disabilities. This book walks you though the process of designing exciting user interfaces that can potentially be used by everyone, regardless of ability. Accessibility is really a quality design issue, and getting it right is often more a matter of approach than having sophisticated, cutting-edge tools at your disposal.

This book will be your companion in your journey to understand both HTML5 and accessibility, as the author has many years of experience as a designer and web developer working directly with people with all types of disabilities. He has been involved with the development of HTML5 from an accessibility perspective for many years, as a member of the W3C WAI Protocols and Formats working group (which is responsible for ensuring W3C specifications are serving the needs of people with disabilities) as well as the HTML5 Working Group itself.

  • Introduces the new HTML5 specification from an accessibility perspective
  • Shows how incorporating accessibility into your interfaces using HTML5 can havebenefits for all users
  • Explains how HTML5 is currently supported by assistive technologies like screen readers, and how to work around these limitations when developing

This book is nothing short of amazing. Very well written and high quality information. Josh is not only a great author, but makes a difference by giving real world examples. I have used his advice with my own design and development ideas. His knowledge base within Accessibility is something that we all drive for. He's a great resource and should be recognized for his efforts as it relates to HTML 5 and Accessibility. He and his book are top notch.

2.0 out of 5 stars A missed opportunity
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2015
This book is a thoroughly frustrating read. The author seems to know what he is talking about, but is continually let down by a poor technical editor.

It is insufferably wordy, there are errors in the few code examples, and - even worse - the descriptions of useful concepts (e.g., the platform accessibility APIs) are not handled well. (Try the "Look Inside" feature to read Chapter 4 API and DOM for confusing concepts, and Chapter 5 for abstruse verbose rambling.)

That said, I did find a kernel of good material here. I was assigned to get a web application to play nicely with the JAWS screen reader, and this book had a few pointers on how to get started.

Just be wary of the other reviews for this book - it is nowhere near as magical as they would lead you to believe. (I unfortunately took them at face value.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great coverage of modern web accessibility
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2012
Usually, when a new, interesting and shiny web technology is made available for mainstream web development, web developers descend on it in a blur, excited to make even cooler things than they could before, more efficiently and quickly. At this point, best practices such as supporting older browsers and accessibility are usually thrown out the window until a couple of years later, when common sense kicks back in, and the flaws and caveats start to bubble to the surface.

And this is why I think this book is so useful and important. HTML5 is currently the hot new thing in the world of web, and -- while many of the accessibility best practices we gleaned when using HTML4 can be carried confidently over to HTML5, there are a host of new features in HTML5 that present new accessibility challenges.

This book tells you everything you need to know about HTML5 in the context of making HTML5 features accessible, both in terms of conforming to the WCAG, and on the flip side, maintaining good usability and design sense. Chapter 1 gives a useful summary of where the book is going; Chapter 2 provides a very nicely written summary of the common disability groups you need to cater for as a web developer, and the tools they use to aid their usage of the Web.

The next couple of chapters provide a very useful set of guidelines and best practices on how to use JavaScript/DOM sensibly, so that accessibility isn't impaired. A very important technology for making rich JavaScript-powered interfaces accessible is WAI-ARIA, and this is given a thorough treatment.

Chapters 5-8 then provide a thorough reference to all the new HTML5 features, and how they can be made accessible, starting with HTML5 semantics (including more WAI-ARIA information), and moving on to <canvas>, multimedia, tables and forms. It is really great to see some of the really cool HTML accessibility goodies, like the <track> elements for attaching text tracks to video/audio, given some good coverage.

The last two chapters then round the book off nicely with useful tips on user-centred design, user testing, and the best tools with which to test the accessibility of your web projects.
