Subject: Nonvisual Development with .NET
By mutual consent, I am taking the editorial lead on the C# tutorial
project begun by Chris Hofstader last year, and continued by Inthane
recently. It was originally focused on programming with C# 2005 and JAWS.
Window-Eyes got added subsequently. I now intend to expand the scope to
include any screen reader with any .NET language -- though primarily C#
and VB. The 2.0 version of the .NET Framework is our present focus, but
version 3.0 may also be addressed before long.
I am calling the project "Nonvisual Development with .NET," or NDN for
short. I hope it can include contributions on a variety of topics from
blind or low vision developers. Other individuals and organizations are
also welcome to contribute to this community resource.
The NDN resource will include tutorials, sample code, and screen reader
configuration files that help people become productive with .NET
languages. Please consider making a contribution in any of these areas.
Some of you already have, and the material is appreciated.
Here is a list of topics that seem relevant:
* How to find, download, and install Visual Studio and other technologies
for .NET development.
* How to configure Visual Studio and a screen reader for optimal use
without sight.
* How to use the VS help facility, form designer, code editor, and other
tools with a screen reader.
* How to use non-VS tools for .NET development, such as a text editor and
command-line compiler.
* How to build and deploy desktop and web applications with .NET.
* How to obtain .NET reference and instructional material from other free
and commercial sources.
* How to find jobs as a .NET developer.
To refine this list of topics, I invite people to pose questions that they
hope the NDN resource will answer. Each of you is also invited to
volunteer a contribution, including a timeline by which a draft would be
emailed to me. Consider any .NET problem that was initially challenging
before you found a comfortable solution, and then write an explanation of
it for the benefit of others.
I will work with anyone to edit a contribution for inclusion in the NDN.
A plain text or Microsoft Word document is preferred, but almost any
format will be accepted.
Feel free to ask questions, make suggestions, or otherwise participate in
what we hope to be a collaborative and rewarding undertaking!
Regards,
Jamal
