Thank you. Yes. I already know what tweaks I want to make.
Please go check out my website:
http://blindnesseraserblog.wordpress.com which has lots of
different info on a number of topics for blind and visually
impaired people and which I have recently redone. Also please
check out my low traffic mailing list:

Subject: AW: Programing for iOS
Hi Jessica,
well first of all you should have a kind of idea what you want to
program.
Learning goes far easier when you have an application in mind.
Since you
have a website it may be interesting to do some html or php
first. You
should look for a tutorial that starts with a hello word program.
Those kind
of programs are usually the first program one writes in a new
language.
In general it would be the easiest thing to start off with some
console
programming - that means to write a programm that just writes and
reads data
tot he command promt and from the keyboard.
Just copy the following lines bgetween the lines with dashes (but
not the
dash lines themselve into an text editor and save the file as
test.bat.
------------------------------
rem first program
echo this is a line of output
rem the next line will make the program wait until the user
presses any key.
pause
echo another line of output
rem wait again for a key
pause
----------------------------
Save the file to a location that is easy to reach e.g.
c:\test.bat
Now open a command prompt by pressing Windows+r and type cmd
followed by
entere.
You will be in the command prompt now.
Type the full filename like so
C:\test.bat
And press enter.
You will see the above program run. It is a very simple program
and it
should be clear what is going on. The program is executed line by
line and
consists of
Comments that start with the word rem
Outputs that start with the word echo
And waits for input of any key with the word pause.
Such a program is called a batch file.
Try experimenting with the comands - changing texts, deleting and
adding
lines etc. When your done you have a very very basic
understanding of
programming. You could proceed by embedding commands that are
available in
DOS and therefore also in the command prompt. Here are just some
to get you
started
Dir
Cd \users
Cd ..
Copy c:\test.bat c:\testbackup.bat
Del c:\testbackup.bat
You can call up a help for theese commands by typing
Hbelp command
e.g.
help dir
in the command prompt. The contents oft he help may be a bit
complicated but
give it a try - it won't hurt you.
I hope that will give you a kick start and ensure you that you
are able to
program. A Link in HTML is much simpler than the above commands.
Hth
Heiko

An: programing blind
Betreff: Programing for iOS
Hi. I am completely blind and know nothing about programing. I
have tried teaching myself html and have also tried teaching
myself inform for writing text adventure games. I failed at both
and can't even code a simple link in html. However, I think with
some help and training, I can learn a programing language and I
think learning how to develop for iOS will be more useful then
html or inform. Do you think this can be done by a person like me
and if yes, what are some getting started resources for very very
beginners? Everything I have found by searching assumes that you
know something about programing already, which is not the case
for me. I have also heard from other blind people who are trying
to teach themselves programing that the tutorials they find are
no help because they are too visual and XCode is hard, not
impossible, but hard to use with VoiceOver. I also found a site
called nonvisualdevelopment.org but it did not even have the info
the person who posted about it said it had. And also, I don't
think the teaching it to myself thing is going to work. Are there
any training programs where I can get help over face time or
skype or mailing lists for beginning blind programmers or
anything like that? Thank you.
