Abstract
In this chapter, I will introduce accessibility, define what it is, and discuss why you should be paying attention to reducing the barriers to access that might exist for many people in the systems you build. We will also look at HTML5 and examine its main differences from HTML 4—and you’ll see what this means for accessibility as well as how those differences will impact the way you build web sites and applications.
