Hi, I would like to do software programming for desktop . I want to mainly do software programming for windows but I will expand once I get the hang of it. The type of software I would like to create is accessible software for the visually impaired. For example accounting programs, music programs and other applications etc. I will take a look at your site and take advantage of what you can offer.
