[NFBCS] languages

[Andy Borka]

When was the last time you checked out vs code? Insiders is miles away from the release version in terms of accessibility, and much lighter on resources and learning curve. If you are talking about the Linux version of vs code insiders, then I would agree that it is usable, but not the best in accessibility yet. I don’t think we need the NVDA add-on anymore, because it addressed issues with autocomplete and some editor problems which Microsoft has fixed since then.

Hi, this is actually things that I have been trained on over hte past
couple months. Although I think you are a little confused, hibernate
is an ORM (Object Relationship mapper) library used with java, where
spring is a web framework for building web applications in java.

Spring has a couple versions to it, spring MVC, spring REST, and Spring boot.
Spring MVC which you mentioned, is an architecture that allows you to
leverage MVC (model view controller) to write java code that
manipulates some time of model which is probably a database, and send
the data to the view, or web browser to be rednered. Spring MVC uses
jsp (java server pages) to access the model's data, and that is
converted to regular HTML before it is pushed out the door to the
browser.
Spring REST is the newer architecture used for building rest APIs, and
is expected to be consumed by ajax weather through react, angular or
some other javascript.
Spring boot is the latest and greatest spring architecture that uses
Spring REST, but provides a lot of additional features to simplify
setup and in general make the programmers life easier. It is not
really different from spring REST in functionality.

When building a spring web application regardless of the spring
architecture you are more than likely going to be hitting a database,
which means you are likely to be using JDBC directly or an ORM (object
relation Mapper)  library. JDBC is just the java database connector
interface for connecting to databases and making queries like would in
any other language. Hibernate is an example of an ORM where you create
plane java objects that act as data stores, in other words it is a
class that has fields, getters, setters and a constructor, and you
mark that class up with anotations that label which field is mapped to
which column in which table in the database. This abstracts away the
need to generally make SQL queries at all, and you can just say things
like
user.save(), or user.getOne(5).

As to your question if it is accessible, yes. I am nearly completely
blind and use NVDA primarily for development and JAWS as needed. I use
Eclipse for writing my java code and VS Code for writing my front end.
I use adminer for managing my databases. Both eclipse and VS Code have
NVDA addons that you can install that make development much easier.
Eclipse out of the box is not to bad for JAWS or NVDA, although I feel
that in general NVDA works a bit better than JAWS here, and with the
addon much better. VS Code is a different story, neither JAWS or NVDA
works well out of the box, as far as I know jaws does not have scrips
for improving the accessibility for VS Code, NVDA does though and it
works pretty well, although not as well as full blown visual studio.

Sorry, that was probably more information than you wanted. Hope it helps.
