Edsharp is excellent!
I'm trying to learn to program.
I'm starting off coding in ruby using edsharp.
Thank you Jamal for edsharp! :)
If you know of some good online docs and books, please let me know.

Hi Don,
I recommend Python for what you want to do. I think you would make the
quickest progress with its dynamic features and library support, an
almost complete list of which is at
http://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=index
I think Eclipse is accessible. That is not the same thing as highly
usable and productive, however. Oppinion seems to vary significantly
among screen reader users on that point. Many beginners have expressed
an interest in JAWS scripts to improve the usability of Eclipse, but so
far no one has taken up the project, as far as I know.
Of course I am biased about this, but if you choose to program in
Python, I think EdSharp
http://EmpowermentZone.com/edsetup.exe
will be the most productive editor as a JAWS user. It has many features
for managing indentation efficiently with speech -- a necessity with Python.
Just my two cents.
Jamal
