[nfbcs] Learning Programming Languages

[Tracy Carcione]

For me, a key part of learning a new language is using it.
If you don't have a specific need, then I think you should choose a language
you can use with the tools you have and you can see the results.  HTML or
XML might be good.

I recently needed to learn SQL for work.  My workplace provided me with the
standard SQL setup, and the authorizations to use our SQL databases.  Then I
got a couple books on SQL from Bookshare, studied them, experimented with
running some SQL code, asked the book, Google, and my colleagues at work why
my code didn't work, repeated the process many times, and now I can code in
SQL.
Hope this makes sense to you.
Tracy

Hello, we have a computer users group in the Midwest consisting of a number
of visually impaired individuals who are interested in learning all that
they can about programming languages, which work the best with screen
readers, and resources for learning this advanced skill.
If anyone would care to take a moment and share their experience and
knowledge, either on or off list, I would sure appreciate any information
regarding the process of learning to program, and which programming
languages lend themselves for use with screen readers.
Thanks a lot for any information you may wish to share..
