Marvin,
I suggest you start by downloading or just visiting the HTML 5
specification on the W3C's site and have a read through it. Next, open
up a notepad and go through the spec again but this time start making a
page or two based on the sample code in the spec. Each time you add
something, open your created HTML files in a browser and try and move
around in your page, through it's structure and form elements.
When you are confident about a significant portion of the spec -- not
all of it of course -- then you can start looking at the source of pages
and forms you would like to build -- visit sites and then use the view
source feature to get at the source code.
Remember that 80% of web development is sight oriented and without sight
you can't really make pages look good, but you can get an understanding
of how the elements work together -- especially the form fields.
After this you need to decide if you are going to go the MS route or
open source. If MS then it will be ASP.NET and if open source then there
is many more options available -- classic ASP via PHP, Perl or any other
CGI type setup, or something different like the more modern Python SWIG
setups like Django, Web2Py etc. and then there is the whole world of
Java based web application development with multiple options. Let me not
forget to mention RoR, Ruby on Rails and the list goes on and on.
It's very important to get the basics right first before you get
burdened with this or that implementation. All those frameworks and
technologies, with the exception of browser plug ins like Flash and
Silverlight and Java Applets create HTML, even if it's dynamically
created via JavaScript it's still mostly HTML and CSS, so you need to
have a firm understanding of HTML and CSS, then JavaScript and then web
application development languages like the MS or open source offerings.
It is a ginourmous field so get the basics first, and don't be offended
by Tylor's message, I just think he's confused why you are seemingly
going back to square one and his email wasn't offensive as such. Rather
respond and explain your situation?
Hope this helps, and be encouraged to try things hey!

Hello Marvin,
I don't know how practical this is for you, but you could install a
couple of these IDEs on your machine and find out on your own how
accessible they are with JFW.
I think there's a lot to be said for the good old fashioned
trial-and-error approach, provided that you've the time. It could be a
real adventure.
Another thing, read the user manual to see if it offers any possible
solutions to your accessibility issues.
If there's anything else that I can help you with don't hesitate to
come back here or email me privately.
Good luck mate
