[Blindmath] java

[Jones Sarah.M.]

Hi Richard,

You may remember meeting me when you visited Swansea University a couple of years ago. I hope you are enjoying your course. We recently had a blind student complete a Computing degree so I spoke with his personal tutor and she said that he used online tutorials whenever they were available (often the textbook, which we ordered as a PDF from the publisher, would have an accompanying online resource) so just google JAVA online tutorials. She said her opinion would be that if you are working with equations etc. in Physics, then programming would not be a problem. Our student also had a PhD mentor who worked with him for about 3 hours per week and apparently that worked really well.

Good luck with year 2!

Hello
I have a module in computer programming as part of my second year physics corse and Java is the programme that is due to be taught.
I have never done any computer programming and the lectures at uni have never taught a blind programmer, so could anyone tell me if java is accessable? And if so is there anything you can suggest that may help get me started?
Thank you
Best wishes
Richard Wheatley
