Session description
Ah, the good old days, when the markup was semantic, developers cared about CSS, and the barrier to entry allowed accessibility experts and developers to work together. This session is nostalgia for the web we lost, part critique of where the web is headed, and part solution an introduction to HAX, an open source block editor project built with web components that work across modern browsers, and can be used with any JavaScript library or framework that works with HTML. Learn about the HAX plugin for WordPress, how you can use it, and how you can contribute back to the project.
This session brought to you in partnership with the HighEdWeb Association.
