Since 2013, the Tampa Bay UX Group has been hosting the ride-or-die meetup for all things related to user experience and usability. Their first meetup of 2020 happens next Thursday, and it will feature Anitra and me talking about what’s new with iPhone accessibility!
Join us on Thursday, January 30th at 6:00 p.m. at Kforce for this talk, where we’ll not only show you these new features, but also how to write apps in order to make the best use of them.

In fact, you can think of the presentation as having a bonus tutorial on the basics of writing your own iOS apps:
