Accessibility for Everybody

The only book on the market to target Section 508 requirements specifically. Uses common, inexpensive tools and programming techniques when possible. Includes both Visual Basic 6 and Visual Basic .NET example code. Contains a wealth of real world coding examples. Shows how to implement accessibility for both the desktop and the Web site. The competition relies on expensive third party tools that only work on Web sites. The Section 508 requirements are inclusive of both Web sites and desktop applications, so these other books aren't really discussing the whole issue.
