I suggest you do a book starch on Russ Walter, he wrote at least two
different books and one of them has several different programming
languages illustrated in it side by side doing the same programming
tasks. That will be your quickest way to get a small feel for several
languages.

Subject: Are there other programming tools that you know of?
Hi how are you? I have some questions on what programming tools would
help when it comes to learning and understanding the different
programming languages? I ask this question, because i've taken a couple
of programming languages and i'd like to know if there is a way to learn
more about different computer programming languages as well as what
would be the best ways to use access technology to our advantage while
programming in different computer languages for example basic, and c?
Colbalt was the next language, but I'd like to know if there is a
computer language that comes close to the jaws scripting language and
how to transfer the skills from the computer programming languages to
the jaws scripting language? I would appreciate any information that
you might have? P.S. I'd also like to know if you may have heard of
the w e a program? I think that this is a program that people can take
advantage of and i'm learning some things that people can go to get
certified to do but the problem is that more people should know about
such programs and how that can be used as a tool to help reach the goal
of employment.
I appreciate your thaughts and comments.

Subject: Auditory interface ideas, what would help?
Hello folks,
We're getting pretty close here in our netbeans tools, possibly
within the next few months, to adding some very nice auditory
enhancements to NetBeans for blind users. I've got an overwhelming
number of ideas about what could help, but I can't implement them all
and would like to get some feedback from the community. Specifically,
we're looking for some ideas in two main areas, code completion and
auditory navigation.
1. Code completion --- Whenever I've talked to folks in the past
about code completion with audio, people have suggested that one of the
most annoying issues with code completion is changes in focus.
Anyone have ideas about auditory code completion? Besides
managing focus better, anyone have any ideas on how to make it more
accessible?
2. Auditory navigation --- I have a graduate student currently
working on a blind code navigation system. Right now, the system allows
you to jump around the source window and find variable declarations,
method declarations, and other similar things, but we want to expand the
navigation to make things easier.
One idea I had, for example, was to make the navigation window
"debugger sensitive" so that if you are navigating around while your
code is executing, there will be audio that tells you more information
about what you've browsed to. For example, if you navigate and land on a
variable, it might tell you its name, type, and if the debugger is
running, what its value is, or other information, depending on how much
useful audio we can put into a short cue.
But really, we're doing this project for this community. We
genuinely want to make our tools as accessible as humanly possible, and
we're going out of our way to make it so. If anyone has any ideas about
what kind of tools would help you, go ahead and put them here, I'd love
to hear about them!
Obviously, we have limited development time, so it's unlikely
we'll implement every suggestion, but brainstorming helps.
