商品描述
Accessibility is a core quality of digital products to be deliberately addressed throughout the development lifecycle. What Every Engineer Should Know About Digital Accessibility will prepare readers to integrate digital accessibility into their engineering practices. Readers will learn how to accurately frame accessibility as an engineering challenge so they are able to address the correct problems in the correct way.
Illustrated with diverse perspectives from accessibility practitioners and advocates, this book describes how people with disabilities use technology, the nature of accessibility barriers in the digital world, and the role of engineers in breaking down those barriers. Accessibility competence for current, emerging, and future technologies is addressed through a combination of guiding principles, core attributes and requirements, and accessibility-informed engineering practices.
FEATURES
- Discusses how technology can support inclusion for people with disabilities and how rigorous engineering processes help create quality user experiences without introducing accessibility barriers
- Explains foundational principles and guidelines that build core competency in digital accessibility as they are applied across diverse and emerging technology platforms
- Highlights practical insights into how engineering teams can effectively address accessibility throughout the technology development lifecycle
- Uses international standards to define and measure accessibility quality
Written to be accessible to non-experts in the subject area, What Every Engineer Should Know About Digital Accessibility is aimed at students, professionals, and researchers in the field of software engineering.

可及性是數位產品的一項核心品質，應在整個開發生命週期中有意識地加以處理。《每位工程師應該知道的數位可及性》將幫助讀者將數位可及性整合進他們的工程實踐中。讀者將學會如何準確地將可及性框架視為一項工程挑戰，以便能夠以正確的方式解決正確的問題。
本書以來自可及性實踐者和倡導者的多元觀點為插圖，描述了殘障人士如何使用科技、數位世界中的可及性障礙的性質，以及工程師在打破這些障礙中的角色。針對當前、新興及未來技術的可及性能力，通過指導原則、核心屬性和要求，以及以可及性為導向的工程實踐進行探討。
特色：
- 討論科技如何支持殘障人士的包容性，以及嚴謹的工程流程如何幫助創造高品質的用戶體驗而不引入可及性障礙
- 解釋建立數位可及性核心能力的基礎原則和指導方針，並在多樣化和新興的技術平台上應用
- 突出工程團隊如何在技術開發生命週期中有效地處理可及性的實用見解
- 使用國際標準來定義和衡量可及性質量
《每位工程師應該知道的數位可及性》旨在讓非專家也能理解，目標讀者為軟體工程領域的學生、專業人士和研究人員。
作者簡介
Sarah Horton (she/her) has over 20 years of experience helping organizations create "born accessible" technology. She is an author of books, articles, and papers on designing technology to improve quality of life. She is current UX Strategy and Accessibility Lead at Harvard University, a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Southampton, and an Invited Expert with Teach Access and the W3C's Accessibility Guidelines Working Group.
David Sloan (he/him) is Chief Accessibility Officer and UX Practice Manager at TPGi, a specialist digital accessibility services provider, and works with a range of clients to help them create accessible digital user experiences and build accessibility capacity in a sustainable way. He became interested in digital accessibility at the end of the 1990s as a postgraduate researcher at the University of Dundee, focusing on improving technology design for disabled and older people, and earned a PhD on web accessibility in 2006. While at Dundee, he taught classes on human-computer interaction and web design, co-founded the Digital Media Access Group, one of the world's first digital accessibility consultancy groups, and drafted the University's first accessibility policy.
