Carson Workshops have a few good things coming up…
The first I heard about was Malarkey’s CSS for Designers course with Molly Holzschlag on the 17th Nov, here in London.
Then I got an email this morning from Ryan Carson about the Joe Clark’s Sharing the Secrets of Web Accessibility one on the 1st September. Joe REALLY knows his stuff and word is he’s a very accomplished speaker so it should be a great course…
The most interesting thing Joe’s agenda, for me anyway, is the section on images. For most sites it’s easy enough to figure out how to convey an image’s information in a dozen words but I was consulting on a clothing site for Tesco a while back and I really had to think about it. The alternative text had to do as good a job of selling their clothes as the photos, and that’s really tough. I don’t think the agency building the site took my advice in the end but I’d be very interested to see how someone like Joe would have tackled the problem…
The learning disabilities part should also be interesting as it’s often overlooked, being so hard to comprehensively accomodate.
