New textbooks
This 2018 remix and revision is from Aaron Thomas-Bolduc and Richard Zach at the University of Calgary. Its unique features include solutions to selected exercises (as an ancillary resource) and a digital PDF in a dyslexia-friendly font.
Also from the University of Calgary, this textbook is based on the Open Logic Project and is written by Richard Zach. It covers naive set theory, first-order logic, sequent calculus and natural deduction, the completeness, compactness, and Löwenheim-Skolem theorems, Turing machines, and the undecidability of the halting problem and of first-order logic.
This technical book, aimed primarily at programmers, comes from The Chang School at Ryerson University. Learn how to develop accessible interactivity on the Web and gain expertise using WAI-ARIA, a W3C specification that enables optimal use of assistive technologies, like screen readers, when navigating the Web. A link to all books in this series, hosted by Ryerson, is included.
Also from The Chang School at Ryerson, is this textbook, designed to demystify “digital accessibility” as a business practice. It brings together all the pieces of the digital accessibility picture, and provides strategies and resources that will help make digital accessibility a part of an organization’s business culture.
