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.

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?

Below are some common questions that come to mind. Perhaps others can pitch in with ones they remember or initial answers for a draft FAQ. Jamal Where can I get JAWS scripts for Visual Studio 2005 or 2008? Do they work with the Express Edition? Do they work with the Visual Basic IDE? The C# one? Visual Web Developer? Where can I get an accessible SHH client for windows? How do I get the Java Access Bridge? What versions of Java does it work with? Do I need to install it in each JVM on my computer? What programming language should I learn as a beginner? What is best for developing games? If I want to learn a dynamic language, which one is best for what purposes? What strongly typed language should I choose for what? Between C# and Visual Basic .NET, what are the pros and cons? What languages are most in demand and pay the best for programming jobs? How does the Window-Eyes scripting capability compare to that of JAWS? What other screen readers are scriptable? NVDA? Orca? HAL? Mobile Speak? Where can I look at sample programs in different languages? Where isthefruit basket site? Where can I get accessible documentation for programming languages?
