Developing Inclusive Mobile Apps: Building Accessible Apps for iOS and Android: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Developing Inclusive Mobile Apps: Building Accessible Apps for iOS and Android" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

By failing to consider those with needs different to ourselves, we are telling these people they are not welcome in our app, and therefore that technology as a whole, is not for them. This is not hyperbole23% of people in the US with a registered disability arent online at all, thats three times more likely than the general population. When asked why theyre not online, disabled respondents say their disability prevents them or that using the internet is too hard.

To help your apps combat the issue of digital exclusion, this book covers considerations and tools mobile developers, or anyone creating mobile experiences, can use to make mobile work better for those with disabilitiesmental or physicaland how to create a better experience for everyone.

Software is not made up of cold, unthinking algorithms. Software is a craft in the truest sense of the word, and one of the greatest tools you can have as a craftsperson is empathy for the people who will be using your app. Each one of whom is an individual with different abilities, experiences, knowledge, and circumstances.
What Youll Learn
  • Create mobile experiences that work for as many people as possible
  • Incorporate a worldview of accessibility and customer service into your design
  • Work with accessibility tools and techniques commonly available for developers

Acknowledgments

Such an enormous number of people have helped me in various ways with the content of this book. Listing each person would be a full chapter. Its safe to say if Ive ever spoken to you in person or online about digital accessibility or inclusion, youve had an impact on this book for the better. This extends to the many great talks, blog posts, tweets, and more that Ive consumed on the topic. Thank you all for spreading the word about mobile inclusion.

Thank you to Daniel Devesa, Jonathan Rothwell, Paul Hudson, Jon Gibbins, StuffMC, and a couple of anonymous sources all of whom have furnished me with advice and fielded my questions that have shaped the book.

Thank you to Jessica Vakili, Aaron Black, Ahmed Bakir, James Markham, and all at Apress who have made the book possible. I hugely appreciate the work you have put in to make this project a reality. Im also grateful to Matt Clark for the illustration he kindly provided.

A big thank you to all my colleagues at Capital One for humoring my constant accessibility talk. You are proof that its possible to create a pro-accessibility culture among a large development team. I especially want to mention Weiran Zang, Kasey Smith, and Harriet Matthews for their encouragement and Matthew Flint who is responsible for forging me into a semi-competent engineer.

Finally, thanks to my family, especially my wife Claire for having infinite patience, understanding, and support. Thanks also to my dog Bella, to whom I have read most of this book and who was polite enough to not look bored for most of it.

My interest in accessibility began back in 2010 while I was the manager of a small Apple reseller. A great privilege of working in technology retail is that you get to meet a vast range of people at different stages in their technology journey. Some customers ask original questions that take a great deal of research to find the right answer. Others have never touched anything you or I might call a computer before and are starting at the very beginning.

In June of 2010, Apple released the iPhone 4. After this, I began to notice the number of our customers coming into the store who used British Sign Language (BSL) as their first language was significantly increasing. From interactions with some of these customers, it became clear why this was: With the release of the iPhone 4, Apple had also released a brand-new feature FaceTime.

FaceTime and other video calling features like it were an incredible improvement on usability for our customers using BSL. FaceTime makes up just one out of a raft of accessibility features that are part of modern smartphones, and landline telephones before that.
