Описание: Case Study: Building Accessible UI Using Github Co-pilot - Navya Agarwal, Adobe

Accessibility is more than just a checklist—it's a fundamental aspect of inclusive web development. However, incorporating AI tools like GitHub Copilot into your workflow presents both new possibilities and unique challenges. In this case study, I’ll share my experience using GitHub Copilot to build accessible web components for Adobe Express. Join me to learn how to leverage AI tools like Copilot effectively, without losing sight of the critical role you play as a developer.

From the excitement of speeding up the coding process to the harsh reality of realizing that Copilot’s suggestions are just the beginning, this talk will take you through the ups and downs of ensuring accessibility. I’ll share the accessibility myths I initially believed, the mistakes I made, and the lessons I learned the hard way. Copilot’s recommendation to use semantic HTML tags instead of generic div elements was a great start, but I quickly discovered that true accessibility goes far beyond what an AI can suggest.

We’ll dissect the Adobe Express website, zooming in on accessibility considerations and the challenges I faced in implementing them.
