Hi, Do you use screen readers at all? Speech and that sort of thing? I am heavily biased towards c++ personally and would be willing to e-mail you the tutorials I am finding most useful. c++ is a far more useful language than basic, IMHO. If you've programmed before, you should find it quite doable. If you want to ease your way into object-oriented programming, c++ is the way to go since you can do both data-oriented and object-oriented with it.
