Hi, Links to this and other documentation are at http://www.nonvisualdevelopment.org/node/20 Jim -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jamal Mazrui Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2011 7:27 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Zip archive available of free Microsoft training on accessible development Now available at http://empowermentzone.com/ms_acc_train.zip If this archive is downloaded and unzipped, it creates a directory tree that includes the file ReadMe.txt in the top directory. The content of that file is pasted below my name. Note that this archive is huge -- about 270 megabytes of videos, source code samples, and documents, covering accessibility standards APIs, and practices. I have tested the integrity of the archive after downloading it from the above URL. Microsoft intends this to be a free educational resource that facilitates development of more accessible applications. Feel free to publicize and share (with appropriate attribution to Microsoft). Jamal [Content of ReadMe.txt] This distribution is a repackaged version of an ISO CD image from Microsoft containing traning materials for accessible application development, located at http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/f/4/1f4c1601-64a5-459e-9e56-d492ad46011f/tools_training_cd.iso All the original files are included in an alternate, zip archive format that is easier for many to unpackage. To browse the training materials, open the file Start_Training.htm in this directory. Besides this ReadMe.txt file, a subdirectory called Other was added. It contains other accessibility guides and research studies from microsoft.com. Each .doc, .pdf, or .ppt file also has a .txt version included, as converted by Microsoft Word, Adobe Reader, or Microsoft PowerPoint, respectively. If both .doc and .pdf versions of a file were available, then the .doc one was chosen. If possible, printer-friendly versions of .htm files were chosen when HTML was the only source format. The about 60 document titles in the Other subdirectory are listed below.
