[nfbcs] JAVA

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello Tara:

     You will likely get lots of feedback about JAVA. When I wrote Java
code, I preferred to use a text editor and run Java from the command line.
Eclipse is an IDE and is I understand reasonably accessible. I would
concentrate on learning Java without the complications of using an IDE. I
also found a braille display to be absolutely essential. For example,the
strings carmake, Carmake, CarMake and carMake are all unique and could all
be used in the same program. A braille display will show you which letters
are uppercased. Hope this makes sense.

Regards,

Robert

Subject: [nfbcs] JAVA

Hello,

I'm starting computer science courses this summer, going for a Bachelor's in
CS.  The first course deals with JAVA.  So, I was wondering if this type of
programming is accessible to those using screen readers?  Also, are there
any type of programming or other aspects of the CS curriculum that are
difficult or impossible for a blind person?

Thanks for the help,
Tara
