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.

Will

    Ok gang, I have downloaded and installed vb Studio 2005 Express, and I've 
found tons of tutorials and examples out there.  Do any of you have reccomends 
on sites with tutorials and advice for the beginning programmer, especially the 
beginning blind programmer?
    Thanks much.
