Programing for the blind?

Name: Anonymous 2009-03-17 10:35

I have a friend who wants to learn how to program. But the problem is he's blind and he's checked the libraries in Australia and none of them have any books on learning programing in Braille. So /prog/ do you know of any audio courses for high level programing languages?

A gentleman I'm acquainted with is mostly blind and works as a senior programmer in EDS1. He uses a fucking huge screen magnifier to see one and a half characters at a time.

We got him to ride a bike before by shouting directions at him, and he loved it. He's also a piano genius.

The thing is, he may be blind but puts the effort in to do things as well or better than those who can see, and that's what's important.

If your friend really wants to learn to program, he'll find a way too.
