[nfbcs] Fwd: Object-oriented Programming Classes Questions

[E.J. Zufelt]

The newest version of the Java Access Bridge does work with 64bit Windows.  Also, although the Swing GUI library may be more popular, the SWT library, which doesn't require the access bridge, is used in professional projects, like Eclipse.

There is a package of Java GUI classes that is designed to work with Windows which does not require Access Bridge and works better with Jaws, but most Java developers do not use it. Also, at this time, Jaws will not work with the 64 bit Access Bridge.

Also, to help, you can add entries to the pronounciation dictionary, such as "is equal to" instead of "==".

My question is this: what platforms are beginning object-oriented programming classes generally run on and what accessibility tools are needed for a totally-blind student?
