Safari has been my companion to learn Windows programming. If he lives in one
of the major cities, he can even get the membership through his local library.
most contents are pretty accessible. BTW I have a few books in my e-library. If
you can think of any title, let me know. I'll send it to you directly.

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
