I knew someone who did there hand coding in word pad, it can work as well, and Jamal's note pal or ed sharp have some handy abilities that would make hand coding easier, like one or both can be made to compile for you using a selected compiler.
the hand compilers are found in the .net sdk's available from Microsoft, I'd recommend the 2.0 sdk, unless your wishing to get into robotics, which there is a robotics module and the .net 3.0 downloads available from Microsoft as well, and there generally not to hard to find.
good luck, inthane. For Blind Programming assistance, Information, Useful Programs, and Links to Jamal Mazrui's Text tutorial packages and Applications, visit me at:

Hello Kelly,I'm one of the Visual BASIC advocates--mainly because program development is easier and faster than any other language that I have used. I use VB6 but Idon't know if you would have much luck in finding a copy of that version.I use some Jaws scripts for the IDE that I found somewhere and they make it very easy to add the buttons and boxes to the user interface. I also have aplain text version of a book named VB6 for Dummies which was very helpful for learning how to write VB6 programs.I use the VB6 IDE to establish the necessary files for a program and then Iedit those files with my own code using notePad. Then I use the IDE to compile those files into an executible. hth Bob----- Original Message ----- From: "Kelly Sapergia" <ksapergia@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2007 10:46 AM Subject: Re: Questions Regarding Getting Started in ProgrammingHi Chris,It's definitely an idea. Is there a good VB compiler for Windows? Also, how do you go about writing a program that uses a GUI or controls like buttons, edit boxes, etc. as a text file? I haven't seen any source code for VB programs before, so I'm wondering if there are any good sites for studying this? I think my problem is that I'm getting too eager and want to jump right in and write something. Thanks.
