Greetings Arya --
Welcome to the list.
I also recommend www.w3scools.com <http://www.w3scools.com> for many
introductory tutorials on many languages and tools for web development.
I also want to stress that java and javascript are 2 completely
different languages that have no relationship to each other.
Javascript is a scripting language used to perform many client side
operations on a webpage. If this is unfamiliar to you, client side
means that javascript is actually run by the web browser locally on a
client's machine. This contrasts to languages like php which execute
on the server, for example the machine where the website developer
puts his/her database and webpages. Php stands for personal home page,
and it started out small but has become quite pervasive in its use on
in web site development.
Java on the other hand is a general purpose, object oriented language
used for many types of programs, not all related to web development.
Now as for mailing lists, you might benefit by subscribing to

Just send blank mail to

and confirm.
There is also www.nonvisualdevelopment.org
<http://www.nonvisualdevelopment.org>, which is set up for programmers
with sight limitations or blindness.
Hope this helps.
Happy hacking...*smile*

Hi Lee, thanks for the hearty welcome.
I am planning to write a calender and contact management software,
with features for synchronizing with the mobile.
I have often heard about c, c plus plus, and v c plus plus, but I
dont know what are advantages, and dis-advantages of these
languages, and their uses.
I am running windows 7 64 bit ultimate, and windows XP with dual boot.
I am using NVDA as my primary screen reader, and JAWS demo.

Hi,
welcome to the list. I'm sure you'll learn a lot from us.
First, what kind of program do you plan to write? Have you heard
of any programming language that interests you the most? And most
importantly of all: what operating system does your computer have
and what screen reader or other assistive solutions? The last one
is important because we want to find a suitable setting where you
can start writing your code.
I'd say that a good beginner language would be Python since the
way you write code is quite easy (although you need to work on
code layout). Other good language to start with would be C++,
Java and other languages. If you are coming from web development
route, i'd say that the next language might be Javascript or one
of those website enhancers (advanced ones would be PHP and SQL).
Please give us as much info you can so that we can better
understand your situations and get you started. And remember
this: if something doesn't work the first time, just ask and
we'll try our best to help you.
Cheers,
Joseph
