Re: Windows Programming

Almost all bookshare books on programming are of high quality. Anything from O'Rially will be good quality since they provide the books streight from there manuscripts there not scanned in.

Hi:
Yes, certainly, Bookshare.org has such books that would go over Windows programming concepts.
But given that this person will be new to the world of Windows programming, and given that Bookshare.org's books are inconsistent in terms of how they're scanned and produced, especially when it comes to representations of code, it might be especially helpful if those familiar with these books would offer some of the cleanest examples from this source of which you're aware. 

Best,

Bookshare.org definitely has books on getting started in Windows programming.

Subject: Windows Programming

Hi,
I got a call from a rehab agency yesterday. They have a former programmer that worked totally in MS DOS, using Turbo C, then was shot in the face in a bar fight about 15 years ago. He lost his eyesight, but gave up programming for the entire 15 years, and now wants to get back into it. He doesn't know squat about Windows development, dll, threads, messages, and such, but does have a grasp on event-driven operating systems. They asked if I could recommend a blind programmer's starter kit for Windows development, including a basic tutorial on developing Windows-based application, from a novice viewpoint. Anyone know any accessible textbooks that give the basics of programming applications under the Windows operating system? They want something that gives the basics on blls files, threads, messages, events, etc. 
Would Safari, or Bookshare have some text along these lines?
Obviously, he already has the C language down, but not C plus plus, or Visual Studio, or Visual Basic. Any online sites that would explain the fundamentals of Windows development to this pair? 


Thanks,
Dennis Brown
