SitePoint Streams W3Conf 2013 Live

By Ricky Onsman | February 26, 2013 | Web standards

The web standards organization World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) held its annual conference for web professionals on February 21 and 22 in San Francisco.

Not everyone could get there, of course, so SitePoint was given permission to stream the event live for our global audience, as we did for the first W3C conference in 2011.

All the action was free to view online here during both days of the conference, and now we can offer you recorded video of all but two of the sessions.

The theme for this year’s conference was “Practical standards for web professionals”, and the lineup of speakers was very impressive.

If the conference makes you interested in finding out more about how to put practical standards and latest techniques into practice, explore the the learning resources available at Learnable.com.

It’s so awesome that we’d have a live recorded session for entire conference, Hope in future we get similar support from Sitepoint.com

Ricky Onsman February 21, 2013 at 12:19 pm: Mohammed, there will definitely be a recorded video version, probably via YouTube, and available on this page.

Would you please make all streaming videos captioned? Many millions of deaf and hard of heraing people need access and it’s also required by web accessibilty guidelines. Thanks!

Ricky Onsman February 21, 2013 at 12:23 pm

Hi, will pass that on to the W3C and the video producers. I’ll do my best to ensure that the recorded video of this event is captioned. I’m sure the W3C would prefer to meet its own Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Thanks for pointing it out.

Deaf March 5, 2013 at 7:21 pm: How soon will the captions be cleaned up? I’m surprised that W3C did not follow their own standards to make their videos accessible via captions. They put millions of deaf and hard of hearing people at unfair disadvantage by forcing them to wait until the videos are accessible.
Ricky Onsman March 5, 2013 at 7:42 pm: This is in process. In my last correspodnence with them, I was advised that they intend to provide proper captioning. They asked me for any recommendations for transcription / captioning services. I gave them a couple, but who would you suggest?
