Web Components and the AOM

Explore web components and the Accessibility Object Model (AOM) in this JSConf.Asia 2019 conference talk by Léonie Watson. Learn how to create reusable solutions using Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, HTML Templates, Web Speech API, and ARIA. Discover progressive techniques for making content accessible to listeners and gain insights into future possibilities with the AOM. Delve into browser mechanics, customized and autonomous Custom Elements, accessibility tree attributes, and practical demonstrations. Understand the phases of AOM implementation, including ARIA reflection, custom element semantics, and virtual accessibility nodes. Gain valuable knowledge from Léonie Watson, an experienced accessibility expert and W3C advisory board member, as she shares her expertise on inclusive design and web accessibility.
