Solutions with Azure-Colored Glasses
Bryan Jonker, College of Education; Aaron O'Banion, Gies College of Business; John Cox, Gies College of Business
We at IT Partners have been working with Azure to reduce the number of virtual machines (and maintenance), to automate our development work, and to ensure our systems are secure and available. Are you interested in moving some or all of your infrastructure to the cloud? Do you use .NET? If so, you can learn from us. We're going to go over some of your options (web app services, function apps), how to link your application to GitLab or your source control of choice, how to integrate it with what virtual machine apps take for granted (single sign-ons with Active Directory, external URLs, access to on premises SQL databases, and that sort of thing), and, above all, how to manage your costs.

W3C ARIA Authoring Practices 1.2 for Developers and Evaluators
Jon Gunderson, Disability Resources and Education Services; Mark McCarthy, AITS
The W3C ARIA Authoring practices are designed to help people understand how to create interactive accessible content for the web using the HTML5 and Accessible Rich Internet Application (ARIA) 1.2 standards to meet the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 requirements. Whether you are a developer trying to understand the keyboard requirements for creating menu button, a designer looking to integrate landmarks and heading structure into a web application, or a quality assurance specialist identifying the roles and properties needed for describing an automatically rotating image carousel the practices have the information you need, including fully tested working examples to compare to. The session will provide an overview of the organization and the types of resources contained in the ARIA Authoring Practices and demonstrate how the resources can be used to support design, coding and quality assurance activities.
