The Apex 4X Beginner Tutorial for Advanced ARIA Development Released

For those who haven’t already seen this, the 4X Beginner Tutorial was recently released, which provides step-by-step guidance for better understanding its use.

As a quick summary, 4X is a rendering API that includes a collection of powerful ARIA-related functions for building feature-rich internet applications that ensure accessibility for people with disabilities.

ARIA stands for Accessible Rich Internet Applications, and is a technical specification published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). The purpose, to map simulated web controls to equivalent control types on the platform Accessibility API, and to provide various mechanisms to enhance the accessibility of web technologies for people with disabilities.

Apex 4X provides a comprehensive suite of ARIA related processes to make developing accessible technologies easier and more reliable and does not expose the accessibility layer where it can be casually changed by those who do not understand it. This makes it possible for developers who have no prior background in accessible development, to create and implement accessible web technologies for people with disabilities regardless.
