[NFBCS] Feedback Request

[Peter]

Hello Lewis and everyone,

	WWhat we're proposing is a situation similar to using a white cane
or a guide dog. Agencies that teach the use of canes and dogs ground a blind
person in basic travel techniques. They learn the proper use of each and are
introduced to a few rudimentary travel situations. Beyond that it's up to
the individual to apply that knowledge to help them navigate a wide variety
of travel situations. If they're not sure how to manage a particular travel
situation they draw upon whatever resources they can find to help them
figure things out.

	Likewise designing tutorials for the use of various IDES, and other
Internet hosting solutions would ground someone in the basics. Beyond that
it's their responsibility to find whatever resources they can utilize to
become proficient in the use of programming and Web languages and hosting
solutions. No one wants to relieve anyone of being resourceful and doing
research to master these skills at an advanced level.

Peter Donahue

The most important item I would say is the IDE the blind person will be
using/ techniques.
However, since IDE's have been evolving in accessibility so quickly: Be
prepared to be outdated quickly.

Core language resources are numerous and many are partially accessible at
least, some completely.

For seeking feedback you sure are pushing this concept. Can you point to
something programming related you tried to learn that you needed a whole
platform around how to do things for blind people for? For that matter,
commtech USA already does what you're looking for in some sense, and most of
us with professional experience are willing and happy to help in areas we
know about when people ask questions.
