A new accessibility book hit the shelves last Monday. Web Accessibility: Web Standards and Regulatory Compliance is the collective work of several well-known names in accessibility, including Jim Thatcher. This is the new version of the standard reference “Constructing Accessible Websites” that Jim and others wrote a few years back, so the format and cover image are similar, but with updated and new content.
I wrote chapters on PDF accessibility and an overview of accessible technologies and co-authored/updated the chapter on Flash accessibility with Bob Regan. I’m very happy with the book, and I’m sure you’ll find it invaluable.

    I’m looking for two presentation files offered at the March 07 CSUN conference. Andrew Fitzpatrick co-presented on PDF and Flash accessibility and indicated the presentation files would be available here. I’m probably just missing them.
    Can someone point me in the right direction?
