I could then technically write a screen reader in basic, java script, AutoIt... What's your point? the goal is to give the OP a distinguishing line between language x and y, not to say "anything is possible in any language." Because even though it is, the point is realism. So I'm not getting your point, besides providing more inbox clutter.

You're going to have to write extentions to do it, which really is kind of pointless.On 11/17/2010 9:04 PM, black ares wrote:why do you say that you can not write a screen reader in php? You can write it.You can run desktop application in php like in python if you have the php engin installed.----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Midence" <alex.midence@xxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2010 10:51 PM Subject: Re: Good resource for beginning programmersYou've got scripting languages and programming languages there. Javascript is client side scripting. Websites run scripts on the visitor's machine to dynamically change themselves according to stimuli. Php is a scripting language that does dynamic webpage changing among other things from the server side. It is used in conjunction with database solutions like my sql and the like. Java and C are both programming languages. Java is a high level object-oriented language that runs on a virtual machine. It is used to create applets and web apps for all sorts of functions. Java is also used to create desktop applicaitons like, for instance, Eclipse, Open Office, and things of that nature. C is a low-level procedural programming language that is used for desktop aplications and low-level programming such as drivers, utilities and the like. Certain platforms are also written in C like, for instance, Windoes is in C. I believe Gnome was also written in C. I went into this detail because your post indicated that you thought these were all web development languages and they are not. Python is a scripting language that can do a lot of the same things programming languages can do and has a reputation for being easy to learn and fostering rapid development. An applications that php could not create, IMHO is a screen reader. Python was used to create two of them.

I decided I would focus on 1. PHP, 2. JavaScript, 3. Java, 4. C I figured these are being used the most in web development and customapplications. So, where does Python come in? How would you compare Pythonwith Java, PHP, and C??Can anybody give me an example of what cannot be developed in PHP which canbe developed in Python?Or how about Java vs Python if PHP is to lowly? I have just heard PHP haslimitations. H.R.
