[NABS-L] CSS and html & my own question

Hello all,
I have a minor in Computer Science so over the years have gathered some info about CSShtml and other internet related info. Bookshare, www.bookshare.org, does have many books about this topic that are accessible;It's difficult to remember specific titles off the top of my head, but I think the html or css 24 hour trainer books are good. A while ago, Bookshare did feature some CS books that featured images of the code, so did not read with JAWS, but that doesn't seem to be the case now for the recently added books. I've downloaded many, and I think almost all were accessible with a screen reader. Yes, in general, Computer science content is more accessible than mathematics; accessible electronic math content is much more difficult to find CS.
I do have a question of my own, though. Is there a specific braille code for computer code? I mean, does one write out all the words in Grade 1 braille, say if one had the int I =tara, would tara be written out or have the "ar" sign? Also, wen one uses a braille display to read the code, what setitngs should one use, as in grad 1, Nemmeth, etc.? What about the other symbols, as in <, >, =, is that Nemmeth?
Thanks,
Tara

Hi Aaron,
The website, https://www.w3schools.com/ has some content you may find useful. I find that for best results, using a braille display where possible helps greatly.
I hope this helps.
Respectfully,

Hey Harry. I am not familiar with Jeanine Lineback. However, I am also interested in the answer to the question posed above as I am considering changing my goal to computer science.

Blind Americans Are Protesting The Refusal of The Entertainment Industry To Cast Them
Webmaster March 25, 2019 Edit
Updated: 1:10 PM, March 26, 2019
Update: The National Federation of the Blind is holding a social media protest on Wednesday, May 27, 2019 between 12:00-2:00 PM Eastern Time. Please stay tuned for updates.
United States:
Blind Americans all across the United States are protesting the refusal of the entertainment industry to cast them as blind actors. This is due to an upcoming series called ?In The Dark,? in which it airs on April 4, 2019 on the CW. This series features a blind character, in which it is played by a sighted actor. Mark Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the Blind, (NFB), has released a statement on a press release as follows:
?The entertainment industry has produced dozens of movies and TV shows portraying blind characters, usually offensively or inaccurately, and not even one of them has featured a blind actor in a recurring lead role. If blind people are included, they play supporting roles, and sometimes there is a single blind writer or consultant. If organizations like the National Federation of the Blind are consulted at all, the consultation occurs after production, and the producers seek validation rather than collaboration. The forthcoming midseason replacement series ?In the Dark? is no different. Its producers sought to justify their exclusion of a blind actor from the leading role in a session full of excuses at a recent conference. These excuses were inadequate and needlessly dismissive of blind actors. We have had enough! There are blind actors looking for work, and no sighted actor, however accomplished or talented, can bring the same insight and authenticity to a blind character. Sighted actors receiving attention and awards for portraying blind people is itself deeply offensive. We, and our lives, are not Oscar or Emmy bait. If the entertainment industry and the viewing public are interested in learning about us, that is well and good. But we will define how we are portrayed by taking our rightful place on America?s movie and TV screens.
?We demand that the CW network and the producers of ?In the Dark? withdraw the finished episodes and re-shoot them with a blind actor in the starring role. If this demand is not met, we call upon all advertisers involved with the program to withdraw their sponsorship and urge all Americans to join us in enjoying other viewing options if the show airs. Furthermore, the National Federation of the Blind will not endorse or collaborate on any scripted film or TV series with a blind character if its producers do not develop a substantive plan to cast a blind actor. Finally, we will actively oppose and boycott any project where no such plan is in place. We invite the entertainment industry to work proactively with us to identify and develop the talent of blind actors rather than focusing on casting sighted actors under cover of the spurious claim that blind talent cannot be found. The shameful history of Hollywood defining us without our participation ends now.?

"The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day, we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back. Together, with love, hope, and determination, we transform dreams into reality."

Hi, you want to email her! I don?t believe
Bag gives out her number.
Back however is a great resource for working with, and learning how to
make certain that the pages that are written with what you are trying to
learn are accessible. Another suggestion is to join the Web-enabled
list. Hope this helps by the way everyone on that list that I just
suggestion are people who write pages professionally and represent
business, higher education etc.
Sincerely Maurice Mines.

Hello. Good Day! When one thinks Of money, one thinks of financial
literacy. How do we understand all the proper terminology? Crypto
currency? Index funds? Hedge funds? ETFs? Stock portfolios? Foreign
currency exchanges? Return on investment? Equity? Those may be General
investment and/or real estate terms, but how does one best understand those
terms, along with more simple financial terminology, like a budget? How can
one properly explore investment options? Being that we are students and on
a Tight budget, how could we start on our Individualized moneymaking
journeys? One could find endless YouTube tutorials and books about how to
invest in real estate, how to build a strong stock portfolio, or how to
invest in mutual funds and/or ETFs. But where does one get started? On a
college budget, that is. To invest in real estate, one needs at least two
years of work history and a good credit score, Along with a decent down
payment, or start up capital, for a business/entrepreneurship. How does
one build credit? If one wants to avoid credit cards, are there other means
to build credit? These are topics we would all love to explore, But we
get confused where to start. Personally, I would like to find a financial
mentor; someone who could point me in the direction of smart money moves.
May we all head off in the direction of financial freedom and money
success. Many thanks and much respect.
Sincerely,
Naim Muawia Abu-El Hawa
