Introducing A11ycasts! -- A11ycasts #01

Hey folks! Accessibility is a topic very near and dear to my heart. And as I've spent the past year speaking about it I've realized that so many developers WANT to build accessible apps, but they're just not sure how to go about it. To help teach those fundamentals I thought it would be great to have a series dedicated entirely to the art of accessibility. Meet A11ycasts!

A11ycasts is short for AccessibilityCasts (a11y is a common shortening of the term accessibility because there are 11 letters in between the ""A"" and the ""Y""). The goal of A11ycasts is to teach developers how accessibility works all the way down at the platform level, while also demonstrating real world accessibility problems and solutions to fix them.

This is terrific content but I would like to see its be spun into its own channel so that we can get alerts on new posts without also getting alerts for the other GCD topics. Thank you for providing a show specifically about page development for the accessibility.

Super appreciative of this being a full Playlist of content. However, I missed the full grasp of the playlist because the Semantics weren't as clear to me, as I'm not already a follower of the Polycast. This is great content and a clear subtitle may help Developers find it. This subject is extremely important.

Who produces these videos? Great job! I want to see a how-to video on the production.

If you talking about accessibility in terms of people ability to understand and interact with your work, I find it really odd that would actually abbreviate accessibility to A11y (screen readers won't handle it nice, and no-one is going to search for hit ) - seems like a contradiction to me.
