An approach for vendors who wish to interpret the Syntax success criterion for Accessibility Conformance Reports

Since you need to know how to evaluate this web-specific criterion, which was originally written before our modern, highly-dynamic web, and the government has applied the World-wide Web Accessibility Guidelines to both web and desktop software, I recommend the approach outlined below.

Accessible Chess Resources: sites, books, articles, Equipment, Groups, Consultants, Other

It only takes a minute.

Fill out this short form to contribute a resource.

The following is a hand-picked, growing collection of pointers to websites, books, software, consultants, and other sources of chess information that people with disabilities can use to learn about the game. You can contribute to the enjoyment of the greatest game ever by doing this:

• Provide chess positions in Forsyth–Edwards Notation (FEN) format in your websites, articles, blog posts, and emails.
• Provide games and analysis in Portable Game Notation (PGN)
• In your software, provide keyboard equivalents to mouse functions. Use standard native widgets.
• In your videos, state where the pieces are when you stop at a position. When you move pieces, speak where you move them in algebraic notation. When you refer to a piece, say the piece, color, and square, such as White pawn on d4.
• Subsidize the purchase of chess equipment, much of which is too expensive for people with disabilities who live below the poverty level.

My thanks go to those kind-hearted people in the chess community who contributed information for these resources.

This is a list of the VS Code extensions that I currently have installed. All are accessible. Links to more info included. I have left out version numbers because I have extensions set to update automatically, and version numbers can get out of date. This list will change when my needs change or if I find extensions that do a better job of what I want to do. I primarily use VS Code to write content. Not so much for writing code. This may change.

Making My Favorite Game and my life More Fun In 2021

This time every year do you catch yourself making big plans only to fail shortly after the beginning of the new year? I do, so I’m ditching that with my favorite game. I’m not going to be a chess master by the end of 2021. And I’m not going to be a saint by the end of 2021 either. Here’s what I’m going to do instead.

Rid The World Of Bad Documentation, One Module At a Time Just as you wouldn’t go to a black tie dinner without using a lint roller on your tux or dress before walking into the venue, or, in the old days, going over your suit before that all-important interview, you want your Python code to be clean before you let it out into the world for professionals to see. you want to catch bugs before they bite.

The Painless Way To Contribute To The Cure For Bad Documentation

You’ve just finished your latest development masterpiece. Now you have to go back and document it or find someone who likes to write way more than you do to do that job. What are the chances that your documentation will happen, let alone happen well? Not good?

Have you tried to learn to use a code library or had to maintain someone else’s code and cursed the lack of documentation, when good documentation would have saved you hours of trial and error writing and re-writing code to figure out how the software works? Worse yet, have you ever failed to document code properly, forgot you wrote that code, then cursed yourself for not writing good documentation?

I have the cure.

Introduction Just as you wouldn’t go to a black tie dinner without using a lint roller on your tux or dress before walking into the venue, or, in the old days, going over your suit before that all-important interview, you want your Python code to be clean before you let it out into the world for professionals to see. you want to catch bugs before they bite. This is why you would use a linting tool.

How do you get unstuck when you have lost your initial enthusiasm about taking on a project? This post contains ideas about how to get going again. I missed my weekly posting to the site for the first time last week, and here is what I’m learning from the experience.

My friend Jeff Thompson provided this guest post. Lambda functions are a technique that Python developers put into the language to allow you to write one-line functions or to write functions as parts of one-line statements. This lesson explains how to recognize them and gives tips for when you might use them.

What Three Real People Said

I’m a developer who is blind. I’ve been blind since very shortly after birth. I’ve never gone through losing my sight. I wanted to see if my perspective lined up with that of others who are blind, but have lost their site later on in life. Here is what I found out.

In the last post, we talked about dictionaries. In this post, we start thinking about what happens during an entire turn at Farkle, and get ready to employ functions, which are a way to reuse and consolidate code.

In the last post, we talked about lists and list comprehensions. In this post, we introduce a new Python datatype: the dictionary.” We learn how to put data in them and get it back out.

In the last post, we talked about getting values into lists and examining what’s in them. We put numbers in by hand. In this post, we use loops and make Python read dice for us. We also use some list functions to move numbers from the table to the hand. We also talk about an important concept called list comprehensions.

In the last post, we talked about decision-making. In this post, we pretend to roll six dice and use Python to report them back to us. We roll all six and report on them using something called a loop.

In the last post, we talked about input and variables. In this post, we check to see if numbers we input into our program from the dice we roll are valid and score points.

In the last post, we talked about printing variables. In this post, we get variables into the next version of the program and make sure they are numbers, so that in the next version of the program we can check to see if they are valid dice rolls and whether they score points.

In the last post, we talked about printing numbers, basic math, and true/false. I mentioned that we were working with literals, which were, well, literally what Python should print to the screen. In this post, we talk about something called variables.

Now that we’ve done some printing, of messages, we take a step back with this post to see how to use the Python interpreter to display numbers and messages, the results of truth tests, and then we do the same thing in a little program.

In the first post of the Farkle Project series, you set up Python and wrote your first program, which printed a game over message to the screen. In this lesson, you do more printing by typing in another part of the game, which gives instructions for playing Farkle. You will also learn how to put comments in your code, which Python ignores, but which help humans understand the intent of your code.

Below are the rules of Farkle, extracted from Wikipedia. We refer to them when we plan our project.

Introduction

This post lists the default keyboard shortcuts in Visual Studio Code. I arranged them so that the commands are on the left to make it easy to look them up. Before that, though, I show you how to add a key binding.

Introduction

Visual Studio Code is a very powerful code and text editor. It is accessible enough that you can use it with a screen reader. You will find that the best experience with this application occurs using NVDA and JAWS. If you use Orca, you will also find that Visual Studio Code works well for you. If you are brave enough to want to keep up with the changes in accessibility, and they happen fast, I recommend that you install the Insider version. Keep checking here for usage information and tips. This guide focuses on Visual Studio Code for Windows.

Introducing the Beginner Python series, in which you learn Python basics, using the game Farkle.

import random lowest = 1 sides = 6 table = [random.randint(lowest, sides) for i in range(sides)] print (table) hand =[ di for di in table if di in (1, 5)] print (hand)

import random lowest = 1 sides = 6 table = [random.randint(lowest, sides) for i in range(sides)] print (table) counters = {1:0, 2:0, 3:0, 4:0, 5:0, 6:0} counters[i] += 1 for i in table print (counters)

A typical spaced repetition system includes these key components: A schedule for review of information. Typical systems involve going over information after an hour, then a day, then every other day, then weekly, then fortnightly, then monthly, then every six months, then yearly. Guess correctly and the information moves to the next level and is reviewed less often. Guess incorrectly and it moves down a level and is reviewed more often.
