Issue 227
Given that today is the United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities it seems fitting that many of my links relate in some way to accessible and inclusive design. Plenty of interesting things to read and use in your own work among these articles.
In my own news, I am sat in my new office having moved house yesterday, and at the end of the week head to San Francisco for An Event Apart.
Also, I have been running a Black Friday discount on my CSS Layout Online Workshop for the last few days. I thought I would keep it open today so I could mention the savings to my newsletter readers. You can save $30 off the complete course for today only. Buying a course means you get to learn layout, but also you help to support the work that I do on CSS. Also, I have a big refresh of the material planned, which I will start recording later this month. Existing students will get access to that material as it becomes available, as part of my commitment to offer updates to people who have already bought the course.
