Jim:
My research has shown that there is at least three flavors of COBOL for
.NET. Also, suprisingly, there is a Visual RPG for .NET. For the rest of the
list - RPG is not Role Playing Game or Rocket Propelled Gernade - it's a real
programming language.
Have a nice day...

Hi Gerry,
Thanks for this tip. I'll check the book out myself. I was a Cobol programmer
once.

Abe:
I think I might be able to help you. You need to become a member on
NONVISUALDEVELOPMENT.ORG. It is not too dificult to do. After you do this you
will be able to download a zipped archive of books on VB.NET that contains a
whole boatload of useful books. One of these books is called "COBOL and Visual
Basic on .NET for the Reformed Mainframe Programmer" or something like that. I
am currently reading this book. The book is somewhat old, but still useful in
gaining an understanding of the .NET framework. My background is more on the
I-Series but I still can, to a degree, relate to the mainframe references. I
hope this will help you get started. If you have any further questions you can
contact me off list, if you wish.
Have a nice day...

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:

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 .
