I found some correspondence from a previous discussion about a FAQ for this list. Jamal -- Forwarded Message -- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Bob J. [rjustice004@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2008 2:35 AM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: FAQ for this list Here is the list that I would like to see... Name of programming language and version #: For what types of applications is this language best suited and why is it better than any other language for those applications. I have a feeling that there are far more programming languages than necessary and I can't understand why we continue to re-invent the wheel.

Jamal Is there a tutorial on using Eclipse with a screen reader? Are scripts available? How about Delphi development? What language should I use for web site development? What content management system is most accessible? What wiki? What are tips for managing indentation in Python with a screen reader? How do I know what is a good layout for controls on a GUI form? Are there tools to help with this?? If I want to develop cross-platform, accessible programs, what language and/or tools should I use?
