Hi,

Can you recommend any books that explain how to build a GUI without IB.  Also, 
do you know of any completely blind developer, who without sighted assistance, 
was able to get an app approved by Apple for sale in the AppStore.  They do 
have UI guidelines which may be difficult to meet without sighted assistance.

Thanks,
