Building Accessible Web Applications with ASP.NET Core

In today's digital landscape, web accessibility is not just an optional feature—it is a fundamental requirement for reaching all users and meeting global compliance standards. Many developers build functional web applications but inadvertently exclude users who rely on assistive technologies. This text-based course guides you through the process of auditing, fixing, and building highly accessible web applications using ASP.NET Core. You will transition from understanding basic accessibility guidelines to implementing robust, inclusive web elements that work seamlessly with screen readers and keyboard navigation. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and how they apply to modern web development. - Implement semantic HTML and ARIA attributes correctly within ASP.NET Core Razor Pages and MVC Views. - Diagnose common accessibility barriers using automated browser testing tools and manual keyboard navigation checks. - Enhance form validation, labels, and error handling in ASP.NET Core to be fully screen-reader friendly. - Manage focus dynamically during page transitions and interactive component updates. - Create accessible navigation structures and skip links that improve the user experience for everyone. The course begins with foundational definitions of accessibility standards and key terminology before moving into step-by-step written explanations on identifying and remediating accessibility bugs in ASP.NET Core projects. This course is designed for beginner to intermediate ASP.NET Core developers who want to make their web applications inclusive and compliant. No prior experience with web accessibility audits is required. Start reading today to build web applications that everyone can use.
