welcome to the list,if you want to program desktop for windows apps, then C# would be what I would recommend, there is extra work to make java apps accessible and it seems that it's not always a success even with the additional work.
just for your knowledge, I have a site called the grab bag (URL under my name) with some helpful stuff on it for programmers, and most of the stuff for VS 2005 also applies and works with VS 2008, including the super jaws scripts for VS 2005/8

Hi I want to learn to program. I'm not quite sure what to dive into yet. I think I want to focus on desktop application development on Windows. Which language do you recommend? C, C++, C#, F#, Ruby, Python, Java etc? Currently I'm leaning towards C# or Java. I don't know why though :) I'm a Jaws user and EdSharp is my text editor of choice. __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
