Session Details
9 things every developer can do to be more inclusive
Presentation
The only thing stopping software from being inclusive is the developers. Being inclusive is not a "bonus if we have enough time", but needs to be a core focus of a project from the earliest stage to the final product.
A large number of developers recognize this is an important issue, but don’t think they have the resources to do anything about it. If more developers did these things, they could increase their potential audience tremendously. This isn't about altruism, it's just good business practice.
Tobiah Zarlez from Microsoft will share what he has learned through his work with developers, as well as his own development experience. Attendees will take away 9 simple ideas that developers should know about when creating their software to greatly increase the inclusivity their final products. They will learn that inclusivity can be cheap and easy to integrate as long as these concepts are kept in mind from the beginning.
