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.
