Summary
Roberto Scano has written the first ever book on the accessibility of web applications.

Accessibility of Web Applications
Roberto's book covers a wide range of topics to help developers of web applications ensure their applications are accessible. The book covers accessibility guidelines for authors (WCAG) 2, accessibility guidelines for authoring tools (ATAG) 2, accessibility guidelines for web application developers (WAI-ARIA), and much more, including guidance for multimedia used in Web Applications, such as Flash.

Raman has a chapter describing in detail how web applications works, Charles Chen has a chapter on ARIA, and I have a chapter on Ajax, which covers notification techniques to supplement ARIA.

So the ability to write technical Italian is another one of your skills?

Hehe - I wish. Patrick Lauke would have been able to write it in Italian.
