Hi,
Welcome to the list.
I never heard there is a music library for CPP or C#, but if you've heard of
it and if you want to work with music, then that's a good thing for you.
As for IDE (Integrated Development Environment), I'd say Eclipse would be
the best one for C++ (not sure about C#). I personally use Visual Studio
2008 with JAWS 11 (and yes, there is a script for VS2008 for JFW, as I
presume you are using that screen reader).
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: Beginner Programmer

Hi,

I'm new to the list, and I hope this kind of question is appropriate for 
the list. I'm not a professional programmer. I never majored in comp sci 
either, but I took 2 semesters of Java in college and one semester of 
Java in graduate school. I also taught myself some web programming like 
Php, Actionscript, and Mysql from reading books. I've been writing Java 
with Eclipse, and I found it very accessible. I found it fairly easy to 
write UI in Java, but  I don't like how Jaws interact with Java 
applications with virtual cursor. Also, I have to refresh the screen 
every time the UI changes.
I want to adventure into C plus plus or C sharp, mainly because there 
are far more libraries for music software in Cpp. I'm wondering what is 
the best way to approach. I heard there's a script that allows blind 
programmer to use visual studio, but I'm not sure where to get it. Also, 
is visual studio the best way for blind programmer to approach cpp or c 
sharp? I heard it takes long time to write UI in cpp with notepad. I 
guess I want to find out what would be the best way to start.
Thanks for all your help.
