[nfbcs] Blindness and Computer Science RE: (no subject)

[Nicole Torcolini]

What kind of programming are you thinking about? There is programming that
runs on the computer itself and there is programming that works on the
internet. Both have high level and low level languages.
Also, on a side note, please include subjects in your emails in the futures
as emails without subjects are often suspected of being spam or a virus.

Hi all,

I am trying to learn programming and I am an absolute beginner. As a legally
blind person I want to ask you all if anyone has learned programming and
computer science as a blind person. The things is I have already gotten my
degree in economics about 3 years ago, so I am not sure if I am too late to
the field. So how did any of you learn computer science/  programming? What
resources did you use? how long did it take you to become a decent
programmer, or at least good enough to land a job? I am not trying to go
back to school and get a Bachelors as it own't really help me, plus I don't
have the time as I am working. I really want to learn computer science as I
am looking to make a career change, and the future is in technology. I am
aware of many online resources, like codecademy, coursera and other free
things online, but not sure if I should get into these, as I lack a
foundation in computer science. What is the job market like , in your
opinion?

I really look forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences, Thanks,
