    [jitendra] If a person learning about accessibility, should he just focus on WCAG or he should also read what are country specific guidelines?

    [jitendra] If a person who is has spent time on WCAG and give an interview in an American company and if interviewer asks about “Section 508” and candidate reply he don’t even know what “Section 508” is, will be considered bad?

    @jitendra, I think WCAG is not the best place to start learning; way to dry.

    [jitendra] @michiel: Which is the best way to start for a newbie then?

    [jitendra] Though I think I always see all a11y job posts mention WCAG or Section 508(if USA) or both as a mandatory requirement.

    [jitendra] I know that an understanding of a11y can be learned from other resources too
