I've had a bunch of projects at work and in class that have kept me pretty busy the last few weeks, but in the meantime, the book has been slowly moving out into the world. Along the way, we've already gotten a few nice reviews:
- Techtalk Radio mentioned DAWS in their 11/25 podcast.
- Web Teacher gave the book a 4 of 5, saying they particularly like the ten principles for web accessibility.
- KnowProSE gives me a 9/10—“Jeremy Sydik did his time in the accessibility mines of the web and came up with a mother lode for the rest of us to enjoy.”
- CMS Wire says “The book intentionally avoids the nitty gritty details of W3C guidelines and rather lets the reader discover that making accessible sites need not be an ugly mandate, but rather a very humanistic approach to design. After all, no matter our ability, we all want a positive experience on the web.”
- James Pyles says at Tech Unity—“Sydik uses his writing style as well as his considerable experience in both computer science and cognitive psychology to present a unique perspective on this classic design issue and present it in an interesting and fun way. In an ideal sense, learning should be fun. Many times it's not, usually due to how the information is presented more than the information itself. This book teaches a topic all serious web designers should be well versed in and lets you enjoy the learning at the same time.”
Thanks to all of the reviewers!
