It can be done if you take notice on what your doing, and depending platform.

Ken,
Beeing realistic you know that we can not do prety UI.
Ok, we can, where the accessibility permits, at least build an interface where controls are not one on top of another. But from here to the point where you can sell something with an UI build by a blind, it is a long long way. Because even in the most accessible envirnoment, we are not able to know how to combine colors to do a preety look, how to combine some efects on that color to optain a metal looking or a wood looking, even we are not able to build a well proportioned UI, some controls will be or too big or too small in raport with others on the same page. Also the arangement of the controls is important and even using the best layouts predefined in the environment you can not achieve something preety good.
For this reason I always let someone sighted to do interfaces.
How ever they do them faster than me.

Then you will never build a useful UI program sure you can build plenty of
tools but sorry the world is GUI and unless we fight for that ability we are
second class citizens in the programming world.  Now I am not belittling
anything you do or anything coders do low level because those are powerful
areas.  I however would rather code for an environment where the UI is
accessible to write as well as use.  Right now Android is  a good one to
look at.  True it's not fully accessible yet but we are actually able to
create UI and we are able to help bring this platform along.  Microsoft was
drug into accessibility and they have already forgot about it when it comes
to the new windows mobile.  I see Visual studio as an accessible platform
because if you want to make GUIs you can do it and it's not a nightmare. It
is a nightmare with the IPhone currently.  That may not stay that way
because there is a project or two that will make it accessible.  But for now
if your writing software that you want to sell in the App store you will be
getting help.  That is just too bad because one of the cool things about
both the Android and Apple markets is its finally a place people can make
simple and nice programs to make small bits of cash.

Ken,
For my accessible means to be able to code.
I even in visual studio don't build gui alone, because I don't use any kind
of scripts with it, but more over, as a blind, I know that I can not do
eye-catching interfaces, not even dezirable ones.
So I don't pay attention to the gui building when i mean accessible.

Really completely accessible?  So please make the fruit basket program.
As
easy as it is it should take you less than an hour.

There is no choice other than using a mac.
From my experience, it is very accessible.

Is it possible to do iPhone programming when completely blind? My
understanding is I will need to buy a mac. My experience with macs
consists of going through part of the voiceover tutorial and learning
just enough to add my self as a user on my friends computer using
voiceover. Any information on what type of System would be best for
iPhone programming is appreciated.
