Thanks. Would help to know if he programs in some language. But I don't know
Braille yet and not sure if
I will get to that level of ability with it soon.

I am not a programmer, although I would like to learn. But I do know a blind
programmer. He uses a large 80 cell braille display and a portable 40 braille
display from programming on the go. He says that it helps a lot to "see" the
line of code and it is easier to find problems and stuff like that.

I can understand your struggle. I used to do much in the way of programming.
Now after almost 3 years of being blind, I jumped back on that horse. It was an
adjustment period but I think the things that have changed the most is learning
to structure your code the way it is written differently. Each line has to be
read out so it is best to have different profiles for programming than just
navigating with jaws. Debugging is a little more difficult so to read each line
more thoroughly can be time consuming. I have jaws read out every little
character. It just takes practice. Some programs don't read the lines the way
you wish they would. I am still experimenting with using jaws configuration
files to customize the way I interact with each line. I think as far as ease of
coding, jaws script is the most forgiving in terms of debugging things because
the compiler has code checking for you. Other programs are not as forgiving.
PHP and mySQL is a challenge, but I can still do it. I'm just getting started
on C++ so I'll see how it goes.
You can write to me off list if you have more questions,

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.
