Keep Accessibility In Mind

Does your project involve generating content that will be viewed online?  If yes, it's a very good idea to read up on accessibility concepts and practices.

The field of online accessibility concerns itself with describing ways to make digital content flexible enough to be read by the wide spectrum of users out there, including those who interact with computers using screen readers, magnification software, or alternative input devices beyond the standard mouse or touchpad. Building accessibility into your projects can help you stop yourself from excluding part of your audience simply because they interact with online content in a different way.

Here are some sites you can visit to start incorporating web accessibility into your projects:
