Speaker: Jeff McWherter, Director of Software Development at A.J. Boggs and Company

Abstract

So, you’ve created a slick ASP.NET web application, but the performance isn’t what you were expecting, and the government agency you created the site for is complaining that is does not meet Section 508 compliance.

In this session, Jeff McWherter will demonstrate tools inside of Visual Studio and Windows to help resolve accessibility and scalability issues.

  3. I was so looking forwarding to hitting up the meeting. Then a co-worker gave me Red Wings tickets at 5:00 pm. I had to go to the game. I hope to catch next months meeting.
