AzureFunBytes is a weekly opportunity to learn more about the fundamentals and foundations that make up Azure. It’s a chance for me to understand more about what people across the Azure organization do and how they do it. Every week we get together at 11 AM Pacific on Microsoft LearnTV<\/a> and learn more about Azure.<\/p>\n

This week on AzureFunBytes we’re talking about how to create applications for everyone. Accessibility is the design of products, services, and devices that focus on making environments the most welcome and usable to any user. Different people have different methods they may interface with the applications you create. By focusing in on accessibility earlier in your software development process, you make for a more available product to everyone. What software developers create should include considerations for vision, hearing, neurodiversity, mobility, and even mental health. Through the use of assistive technology, AI, and cognitive services we can strive to consider all of our differences in order to improve accessibility.<\/p>\n

To help me further understand the benefits of accessibility in our software development, I’ve tapped Senior Cloud Advocate Rory Preddy<\/a> for some help.<\/p>\n
