Hi, I'm Ben. I'm a self-taught web developer based in Greenville, South Carolina and work as a front end developer for Mediacurrent. After learning web development online and a few years working at an agency, I stumbled upon the importance of accessibility for the web, but struggled to find easy to understand resources for getting started. I was inspired to write this course to give others a simple, practical introduction to web accessibility principles.
