2021 week 47, 48—Web Accessibility Myths, Advent of Code, Gradient Background Generator
Links worth sharing for web technologies and accessibility.
I have been teaching 6-7 lectures per week for the last 4 weeks. At first, I was fine with that but the energy gradually decreased. Last Saturday was the last day of this series and I was too tired to almost fall asleep when explaining in class. Now one Python class ends and the PHP class has a holiday break until 2022 January. Just 2 lectures per week for another Python class that will end on December 28th.
