[nfbcs] JAVA

Sat May 11 20:13:05 UTC 2013

Good afternoon Everyone,

I am programming in Java now. I use Eclipse and a Braille display. I first started coding in Note Pad. That is really the only way to learn. I use Eclipse. Yes, as things go is isn't bad, but as usual you wouldn't believe how fast the sighted folks get things done. Things as simple as that little red line below something which is wrong. I have to wait until I save the file and look for problems. Learning the keystrokes is vital. Again, I would stress the importants of learning it first. Eclipse sometimes tries to help you. I believe I can turn the feature off, but I know when things are going to happen. I want to be perfectly frank here. I am not as fast as a sighted person. My memory and being able to know things without a flow chart used to be very helpful. Everyone would be looking for their flow chart and I would know how long the file was kept and where it was used next.

Depends upon the environment.

Hello
Eclipse takes a bit of getting use to, but its definitely worth it in my opinion. It offers a debugger, auto indention correction and a convenient way to store all your java files. These features save much more time than learning eclipse takes. A braille display is definitely useful, but i dont use one and it works out fine. Overall, java is farely accessible Kevin
