VueConf Toronto 2019 - My Experience

-

I moved to Toronto this year, and I had the amazing opportunity to attend to one of the biggest Vue Conference, the VueConfTO 2019. It was a wonderful experience, I meet in person some of the greatest contributors to the vue ecosystem and learned a lot from their presentations.

This was a very multicultural event, there were participants that came from all around the world, E.g.: China, India, UK, Turkey, Sweden, Mexico, Spain, USA and many more.

The conference venue was in an extraordinarily convenient place, in downtown Toronto at the Marriott Downtown, in case any participant would want to explore a little bit more of Toronto, the main attractions/places were nearby.

The conference lasts 3 days, it included workshops, presentations, contests/quizzes, meals, after party, and a Q&A session with the core team. The MC of the event was Phil Hawksworth who entertain us during the whole presentations with some really funny jokes interacting with the crowd and the speakers.

Talking about the presentations schedule, each speaker had around 15-40 minutes to present, depending on the topic, and between each presentation, the were some short breaks to run contests, I really enjoy that part, even though I didn't win anything 😄. Without any doubts, the trending topics at the conference were the new composition API, what's coming on Vue 3, Nuxt and the JAMstack. And what about the speaker lineup? well, check this out:

Most web applications are developed for users with no disabilities, under the assumption that all users have the same  physical abilities and resources , when in fact it's the opposite. The circumstances of our users will vary from having internet issues to being physically disabled, and here is when Web Accessibility comes into play,  so you can optimize your web app and adapt it to all audiences. Web Accessibility  (a11y for short)   refers to designing/developing web apps so people with some kind of physical disability, situational disability, and socio-economic restriction (like low internet speed) can use them. Web Accessibility encompasses all disabilities that affect web navigation, including: 👁 visual 🧠 neurological 👂🏽 auditory 🖐🏽 physical  🗣 speech The first time I heard about this concept, I was surprised by the number of people who are restricted to fully use web applications. My first guess was that around 1% to 5% percent of the population has a disability, but
