[nfbcs] FW: Fruit basket programs

Wed Jun 9 19:36:56 UTC 2010

In case you are wondering what the source code for simple GUI programs looks like, and what is involved in getting various programming languages to produce something we can use with a screen reader, the following information is worth studying.  

A few years ago, on the Blind programming listserv which is currently at
  programmingblind at freelists.org
Jamal Mazrui proposed a project where list members would code up a simple GUI using their favorite languages and tools.  In the following message, Jamal lists the programs that resulted and their contributors.  For access to many other resources, go to 
  www.nonvisualdevelopment.org
and download what you need.

In case anyone was wondering, the domain name blindprogramming.com was allowed to lapse and is for sale to anyone who wants to pay a serious amount of money for it.

Welcome to the fruit basket demo site

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Skip to main contents" Return to the Homepage Go to the contact page View the sites disclaimer policy Here we have for your easy evaluation the description of several programming languages, Plus a small simple project and the generation files for it, so you can look at a project in several of the languages and evaluate whether it makes sense too and/or seems usable by you for programming.

the languages are currently broken down into two groupings, the PC group, which are languages like visual basic, ruby, C, C++ and C#, where the application generally runs on the computer of the person using it, and the server side group, which includes PHP, Java Script, and Perl, where the application usually runs on a server on the Internet, and displays its work to you through a Internet browser.

Each of the entries listed below will have a header 3 with the language, and the contributing author's names, and any special add in's to the project. this header also serves as a link to a description of the language which will open in a separate window.

After the header there will be a link, so you can download The entire package with any text documentation the author included, the program files, and an exacutible if there is one, (if the language creates one, and/or the author included it) in a standard zip format file.

the language definitions were extracted from the following sites:
Computing Dictionary Online
and
Wikipedia (TheFreeDictionary.com by Eunice Klicker, a member of this project that had to drop out due to health issues, we thank her resoundingly for her work and efforts to bring this language comparison site to fruition!

if you do not find a language listed here, and would like to see an example in it, Please use the links on the " Contact Us " page to ask for it, and I will do my best to find a programmer who knows the language well enough to assemble the files for you.
On the other hand, if your a programmer in a language that we do not have listed here, please! Down load a copy of the Fruit Basket Demo criteria, and generate a set of files in your language! Then contact me by Using the links on the Contact Us Page to E-Mail me and we will be happy to put them up on the site for download by others looking to find out about the wide variety of programming languages out here for your use.
