Are there layout managers that you can use in code instead of a graphical positioning tool?

crappy at using xcode.

Additionally, an IPhone sample.

Also, a sample using AJAX-based UI components, such as those in the
JQuery, Dojo, or YUI toolkits.

I think the fruit basket project
http://FruitBasket.QuantumMyst.com

is a valuable resource for blind programmers. Since it is almost
exclusively Windows-focused at present, let me encourage additional
samples on other platforms as follows:

* A sample that runs under the Gnome desktop of Linux, accessible with
the Orca screen reader. Although some of the Windows samples might run
on Linux, e.g., the wxPython one, it would still be helpful to include
information and configuration files for deployment on Linux, so that a
developer has a good example of both development and deployment there.
For example, it might show how to use a standard package manager on
Linux, both from a deployment and installation perspective.

* Similar arguments for a Mac sample, accessible with VoiceOver.

* Similar arguments for a Symbian or Windows Mobile sample, accessible
with Mobile Speak or Talks.

* Similar arguments for an Android sample, accessible with whatever
speech tools are now available there.

* A sample that is deployed with Google App Engine.

* An Adobe Flex sample.

* A Microsoft Silverlight sample.
