Here is the original message I am replyin gto:
Look at the wiki that Jamal hosts that many of us on this list built as a 
tutorial for using Visual Studio with a screen reader.  It isn't going to
win any awards for literature but It contains lots of interesting tips and
tricks and some basic information for those just getting started.




Thanks,
Dennis Brown

  Hi,
I got a call from a rehab agency yesterday. They have a former programmer that worked totally in MS DOS, using Turbo C, then was shot in the face in a 
bar fight about 15 years ago.
He lost his eyesight, but gave up programming for the entire 15 years, and 
now wants to get back into it.
He doesn't know squat about Windows development, dll, threads, messages, 
and such, but does have a grasp on event-driven operating systems.
  They asked if I could recommend a blind programmer's starter kit for
Windows development, including a basic tutorial on developing Windows-based 
application, from a novice viewpoint.
Anyone know any accessible textbooks that give the basics of programming applications under the Windows operating system? They want something that 
gives the basics on blls files, threads, messages, events, etc.
  Would Safari, or Bookshare have some text along these lines?
  Obviously, he already has the C language down, but not C plus plus, or
Visual Studio, or Visual Basic.
  Any online sites that would explain the fundamentals of Windows
development to this pair?


  Thanks,
  Dennis Brown
