Message Hey, thanks for the info guys.
I have heard that .net 2005 is going to be more screenreader friendly. Along
these lines, are there jaws scripts for .net 2003, or possibly visual studio
2005 available?
I think I am going to check out the express version of .net and go from
there. If I end up buying the pro version, surely there will be some upgrade
path to .net 2005, eh?

Hi Che,
My advice, if you want specifically to learn VB, would be to go for VB.NET.
You could wait for Visual Studio 2005 to be released, as there is the option of
the cheaper Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. However, I don't know what the
restrictions are on that, or whether such restrictions would hamper your
intended projects.
Another good reason to go the .NET route, is that there are a large number of
languages that you can use. There is, I am fairly sure, a version of PHP for
.NET. So you could even produce software for the Windows .NET Framework using
a language you are largely familiar with.
By learning VB or C#, you could even extend your skills to building
applications that run on Unix or Linux under Mono.NET, to build on any existing
skills you might have on those platforms.
All the best,
David

Hi gang,
I am fairly new to the programming game, having just finished a few PHP
mySql projects, and I'm looking to learn some windows application programming,
mainly with the hopes of creating games for the blind.
I know there will be a lot of hard work involved in learning something
like this, as well as a lot of time. I am prepared for that, but I would like
to get off on the right foot. I know there are several versions of VB out
there, and I'm not sure which I should look into. I am wanting to create
applications that allow users to interact over the internet, as well as save
their information to a database.
I have been told that VB .net 2005 is coming out soon. Is that something
I should wait on? In short what would you reccomend a neophyte programmer such
as myself get started with, and what are some good resources for the blind
programmer to learn from out there on the web?
Any advice is greatly appreciated, and feel free to email me directly at

Thanks,
Che
