48: Web Accessibility in Polymer [The Web Platform Podcast]

In episode 48 we chat with Chrome team member & Accessibility champion Alice Boxhall (@sundress) and Polymer team #a11y heroes, Chris Joel (@RoboDynamo) & Daniel Freedman (@danfreedman) about the Polymer 1.0 and what is new in web accessibility of the library as well as what we should expect looking forward. Chris & Joel work a lot on the testing and managing of elements and their compliance with web accessibility features.
