BLINDPROGRAMMING
BlindProgramming has been created for adaptive software users programming in any
language, especially in the GUI environment. Whether you're interested in writing
software in C/C++, Basic, Pascal, Java, HTML, Unix, or any other environment, or if
you're experienced in any language, please consider sharing your experience and
knowledge on this list. You don't have to have a degree in Computer Science, just an
interest in writing code, whether it is for your personal use, or for release in the shareware
or commercial market. Some general topics of discussion on the BlindProgramming list
include, but are not limited to:
- Accessible documentation for compilers, linkers, debuggers, Integrated Development Environments (IDE), or just plain code editors in DOS, Windows, Unix, or any other OSs.
- Training and tutorials on different languages.
- Tips and hints on what works with speech, and what doesn't.
- A sounding board for suggestions and corrections for source code/troublesome routines.
- Personal reviews on the latest development tools, and their friendliness.
As long as the topic deals with development in any way, shape, or form, it is appropriate for this list, so if you've got a question, don't hesitate to ask - even if you're not totally sure it is relative. And, if you see a question that you can answer, or a situation you can comment on, please do!
