 +====== Checklist accessible desktop and mobile app programming ======
  
 +When programming desktop and mobile apps, the recommendations of the manufacturing software company should be carefully read, observed and implemented in the design, planning, programming and testing.
 +The following links are the entry points to the documentation of large software companies on this topic.
 +Every programmer or group of programmers must deal with this topic and activate accessibility features especially for the developed application. This applies to development projects and contracts that are outsourced.

 +Not considering accessibility in published apps is not an option!

 +===== API naming =====
 +<WRAP center round info 60%>
 +The golden rule is: **Use word separators**

 +
 +====API and schema design examples====
 +  - use_underscores
 +  - useCamelCase
 +  - use-kebab-case
 +
 +==== Examples of IDs and similar entities ====
 +  - use.dot.separators (often with reverse DNS prefixes)
 +  - use/path/separators (often with URIs)
 +  - use-hyphen-separators (often with GUIDs and the like)
 +
 +==== Abbreviations ====
 +Another common challenge is the use of shortcuts. While a user interacting with your API may recognize your abbreviations from context, a screen reader may not be able to do so, especially if your abbreviation is not common.
 +^Abbreviated (unfavorable) ^Not abbreviated (correct) ^

 +
 +==== Additional services ====
 +An added benefit is that code generators can more easily produce idiomatic terms that conform to case-sensitive conventions in the target language/platform.
 +^JSON ^Dotnet ^Dotnet with additional suffix ^
