I'll add Java programming in Eclipse. Both Sina and Isaac seem quite successful with this route. I'll also add Bash shell programming. Maybe even emacspeak. Assember? Really? You must be almost as old as me! I can't even find people who care about speed or memory usage anymore. > this could be carried out at a location like a programming club we have > several here in Louisville..

I think we're so spread out, that getting groups of blind programmers together regularly would be pretty hard. Skype and similar technologies are the way to go, IMO. > It is something also that > we could get colleges to sponsor or god forbid with the way our government > is now we could even get government grants to run these kind of things.
