I do programming and it can be a rewarding job.  I use jaws.  I think a braille 
display is a personal choice.  I can't stand them my self but I can see value 
for thoughs who wish to use them because as Hina says learning to listen to 
code can be challenging.

Hi,
I think to listen to a code with jaws can be a bit challenging because you 
might not notice what exactly is wrong, so it is better to read the code with 
braille display attached. I myself studied programming and it was possible but 
you have to get used to listening to the code with jaws.
Thanks.

I HAVE RECENTLY  COME TO A POINT WHERE I CANNOT DO ANYTHING VISUALLY ON THE 
COMPUTER SCREEN.
I HAVE BEEN USING zOOMtEXT AUDIO  EFFECTIVELY UNTIL NOW. But now I am told JFW  
is the way to go.

Can someone give  me a good  view/opinion of how effective/efficient would it b 
to do programming for a living with or without JFW.

I have 20 years of programming experience with MS environments being the  
latest.  I am able to read all ctooll tip  based text  and the program text 
itself  but  not sure if I can  compete with
The visually   enhanced set.  I know I have much learning to do but I would 
like  a seasoned person to give  a sense of whats possible.
I am a good learner if not a speedy one.

I am trying to  figure out if I should or should not give up on serious 
implementation responsibilities.

Thanks for any and all  input  I can get.

Prakash
