MessageHi, Whilst these aren't specifically aimed at blind programmers they are aimed at those picking up Visual Basic, and or, the .Net Framework for the first time: * Introducing Visual Basic 2005 ebook: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/whidbey/introto2005/ * Windows Forms webcast series: http://www.microsoft.com/events/series/windowsforms.mspx * Modern software development: http://www.microsoft.com/events/series/modernsoftdev.mspx note: there's a section entitled 'modern software development using C#'. This is just an introduction to the .Net Framework and doesn't really favour one language over the other in it's explanation of the concepts. It's a webcast series I'd highly recommend to anyone picking up the .Net Framework for the first time. There's a couple of things you'll need to do in order to use your copy of vbasic express. Firstly, you'll need to register it using the help > activate/register product menu option. Secondly, you'll need to delete all the JAWS customisations for earlier versions of Visual Studio from within the JAWS settings folder, these files are named msenv.*. After you've done this you'll need to either restart JAWS or your system, and then reclass the Visual Studio editor control to a multi line edit control using the JAWS control reclassification dialog. If you need any help in doing this, then just ask and tell me what version of JAWS you are using.

Do any of you have reccomends on sites with tutorials and advice for the beginning programmer, especially the beginning blind programmer? Thanks much.
