Accessibility is a promise we’re keeping.

/0 Comments/in , /by

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)’s Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) states accessibility addresses discriminatory aspects related to equivalent user experience for people with disabilities. Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can equally perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with websites and tools. It also means that they can contribute equally without barriers.

Actively building and managing the Corteza platform, it quickly became apparent that we’re not 100% following our mission and dream of building a Digital Work Platform for Humanity if we don’t address the accessibility requirements and make our product usable and available to everyone.

How To Educate Children to Code?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Coding is one of the most relevant and in-demand skills in this digital age. While machines and applications are constantly evolving, it is becoming crucial for us to understand the codes that make them work.

Children are incredibly creative and learn things very quickly. Hence, the best time to start learning to code is when we are young. But directly delving into complex computer languages can be intimidating. It is thus best to start learning with low-code platforms.

A low-code platform allows app development through the use of a graphical user interface rather than traditional hand-coding. Low-code can be an excellent stepping stone for children who want to learn the coding and app development basics.
