[jawsscripts] Announcement: JAWS Scripting Course in Australia

Script Writing with JAWS
 

Two Day Workshop
15th - 16th January 2009 
 

T&T Consultancy Australia PTY Ltd will be hosting a two day workshop in
order to teach the fundamental skills required for writing script files for
the world's most popular screen-reader - JAWS for Windows.

The "Basics of JAWS Scripting" workshop equips I.T. professionals, Access
Technology Trainers and visually impaired people with a basic knowledge of
customizing JAWS through the use of the powerful scripting language.
Participants will learn how to program JAWS to automate routines and to
customize computing applications.  In addition to gaining subject knowledge,
plenty of opportunities exist to practice creating scripts for computing
applications and environments to reinforce the learned topics.

Before you attend this workshop, Potential participants should have a good
working knowledge of JAWS and the Windows operating system.  This is because
the two day programme is quite demanding.  Anyone taking part should also be
familiar with the use of the various managers to do basic customization of
JAWS. We recommend reviewing the JAWS online help system for the following:

* Configuration Manager.
* Dictionary Manager.
* FrameViewer and Prompt Creator.
* Keyboard Manager.

Participants will be provided with supportive documentation.  They should
ideally bring their own laptop computer with JAWS already installed. If this
is not possible, please notify us by the 10th of January 2009 so we can
arrange a computer for you.

The course will be delivered within our Training room at our Gordon office
in Sydney.
