Microsoft is re-launching its Accessibility Developer Hub for developers to learn more about making software that’s accessible to all.
“The re-launched Accessibility Developer Hub is a one-stop shop for developers to find documentation about Accessibility across Microsoft platforms and products,” wrote Daniel Hubbell, technical evangelist for the Accessibility Business Unit at Microsoft, in a blog post.
With the Developer Hub, developers can learn more about designing code for accessible software through free e-books, blogs, documentation, videos and code samples.
The company plans to produce more content for the hub, and will listen to feedback.
