Hi: I  tried the bottom link and then clicked on Visual  Basic.net. It seemed 
to ask for a password, etc.  Do I download a version of Visual Basic and 
exactly how to  do I go further?

  smile there is a place just for you!

  members of this and another list have slowly contributed for years to a place 
called the fruit basket demo site. what the "fruit basket" is is an simple 
application with just a few functions that is done in a number of languages, so 
you can download a zipped version of them and take a look at the coding and 
many times give the actual executable a try to see how it functions. 

  you can find the fruit basket demo page at:
  http://FruitBasket.QuantumMyst.com

  this should help you find something that will make sense to you, and give you 
a fair idea of what is available to you. 

  afterwards there are two main sights for blind programming still running, one 
is my grab bag site (see URL under my name) and the other is non-visual 
development.org, at:
  www.NonvisualDevelopment.org

    Hi:
    I have 2 Certificates in COBOL computer programming that go back over 20 
years ago. I realize that languages have changed but some or most of the logic 
and structure remains the same. 
    I would like to get  back into programming and do it from home. I am 
legally blind and need recorded books but can take advantage of magnification.  
I heard that BASIC is a good place to start but there is also Visual BASIC now, 
etc. Do you know of a good place to begin and as efficiently as possible? I 
have currently Windows XP .
