[nfbcs] introduction for programming question

[Petras Vasiliauskas]

Hi everyone, 
My name is Petras and I just joined the list. I'm a sophomore in high school. I am good with both mac and windows. I have a braille display. 
I'm taking a computer principles class.  We finished the principles part and are about to start coding. The class is using BlueJ. Has anyone had success or problems with this IDE? 
I am the first totally blind student taking this class in our high school. The computer science teacher and my VI teacher seem quite unsure on how this is going to work.
I really want to learn how to code. 
I would appreciate any suggestions that any of you can offer to help get me started with coding. 
Thanks in advance.
Petras
