Accessibility Tools and Standards
2025 will be a landmark year for accessibility in tech. With the EU's accessibility legislation taking effect, I think that we'll see:
- New tools and frameworks specifically designed for accessibility testing and implementation
- Enhanced screen reader compatibility becoming a standard requirement
- Automated accessibility testing tools becoming more sophisticated
- Built-in accessibility features in major development frameworks
- More robust design systems with accessibility at their core
đź’ Personal Feelings About the 2025
As we enter 2025, I feel both excitement and a healthy dose of pragmatism about the rapid pace of change in our industry. The acceleration of AI development is particularly striking – what seems cutting-edge today might be commonplace in just a few months.
This rapid evolution reinforces the importance of maintaining strong development fundamentals. While AI tools are becoming increasingly powerful, understanding core programming principles, clean code practices, and solid architecture patterns becomes more crucial than ever.
I believe 2025 will be a year of significant transformation, but also one that reminds us of the importance of building on solid foundations. The key will be finding the right balance between embracing innovation and maintaining the fundamental principles that make our code robust and
As developers, we'll need to stay agile and adaptable, but also grounded in best practices and core principles. This balance will be crucial as we navigate the exciting but challenging landscape of 2025's technological advancements.
