Thanks! My biggest problems are all health related. As Vinux Software Coordinator I do not even have the time to add the planned updates to my speedy-ocr ppackage. I have a limited amount of time I can sit at the computer and typing with one hand (more like two fingers) is slow. I need more developers contributing to Vinux so that I don't have so many different tasks to attempt.
If, no when!, I get a moment to addand have problems editing I will call. I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA. My swiss chese memory tells me 412 is the area code for South Western Pa? Is my memory failing me? I love Pittsburgh! Are you fortunate enough to live close?

Of course, I take offense that programming in Linux can make you nuts. Perhaps that's because I had experience with Unix before being forced to use the crippled DOS and then Windows. DOS and batch files just stole a small part of this functionality from Unix. It should be noted that bash is simply command line statements strung together. Bash scripting becomes powerful because almost all of the applications and utilities provide command line options and can be used together like building blocks.GNU/Linux, and thus Vinux are great, not only because the Operating System and screen readers are free, the compilers and IDE is also free. Even the standard Vinux 3.0.1 distribution has support for bash, C, C++, Python and so on built-in. An IDE, like eclipse or libraries need to be installed to develop some languages.Other examples of C++ development is Firefox and Thunderbird.Java is also frequently used in GNU/Linux. Libre Office is a good example. Java using the SWT widgets has good accessibility in GNU/Linux. It requires no type of bridge.Would you like us to submit our favorite resources for the other languages? Vinux is a great place to get started with any of these languages, either using the command line or gnome.*Don Marang*Vinux Software Development Coordinator - vinuxproject.org <http://www.vinuxproject.org/> There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working on things that matter.-- Dean Kamen On 5/16/2011 7:42 AM, Homme, James wrote: Hi,I took the liberty to add the information Don provided about Bash scripting to http://www.nonvisualdevelopment.org./content/what-programming-languages-are-most-useful-linux.
