I am a totally blind programmer who would like to learn Python. Unfortunately the fact that code blocks are represented with different levels of indentation is a major stumbling block. I was wondering if there were any tools available that would allow me to write code using braces or some other code block delimiter and then convert that ...
Sight is one of the senses a programmer take for granted. Most programmers would spend hours looking at a computer monitor (especially during times when they are in the zone). I know there are blind programmers who can program (such as T.V. Raman who currently works for google). If you were a blind person (or slowly becoming blind), ho...
I have a friend who is blind and wants to learn how to program. I’m also blind but I taught my self how to program on an old computer with a version of gwbasic and an audio book written in 1980 which is no longer available so the way I learned is not an option. I’ve looked at similar questions but I have some unique requirements: I’ve ...
I'm trying to write a blind function that would close a DIV in a display:none mode. The unseen DIV is inside a wider DIV, containing the blind trigger. This: $(document).ready(function(){ $("#toggle_blind").click(function () { $(this).toggle("fast"); }); }); Well, this blinds the button. How can I add a DIV to $this? Som...
I previously got this (useful!) answer about using .next() for same DIV blind effect. However, I can't seem to get this simple function to work for more than one DIV at the same time: $(document).ready(function(){ $("#closeButton").click(function (){ $(this).next().toggle("fast"); }); }); Any ideas? Thanks. ...
can anyone give me some tips or hook me up with some good links on this? i'm having trouble finding much more than 'add alt text to the images' and i'm not sure how current the info is... i get the whole semantic markup thing but could probably do with a bit more guidance on that too. also not sure how things would work across differ...
We have gotten several emails and phone calls about yellow text appearing on our webpages at http://www.ciu.edu. We are specifically using a black text in the stylesheet. It is on a tan background. One person claimed to be color blind and I have tried various tests for colorblindness, but no such luck. We are at a loss as to what is g...
<script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){ $("#trigger").click(function () { $("#trigger-banner").toggle(); }); </script> Help? Thanks! ...
CAPTCHAs that ask users to read distorted text are fine for sighted people, but a terrible barrier for those who are blind or have other disabilities. Audio alternatives are occasionally available but still don't help those who are both deaf and blind and can be hard to use with a screenreader (which is already reading words to you). Th...
hi im using acunetix to test my website the problem is with this script http://boedesign.com/blog/2007/02/18/ajax-star-rating/ acunetix doesnt show any message but when i test for blind sql i can get values like 8 and 1=0 -- 8 and 31337-31337=0 in the rating_id mysql column, i want to only allow numbers in there, so i made a little f...
After seeing this question, I got to thinking about the various challenges that blind programmers face, and how some of them are applicable even to sighted programmers. Particularly, the problem of reading source code aloud gives me pause. I have been programming for most of my life, and I frequently tutor fellow students in programming,...
Is there a way to alter this script to be used as the blind effect. // Andy Langton's show/hide/mini-accordion - updated 23/11/2009 // Latest version @ http://andylangton.co.uk/jquery-show-hide // this tells jquery to run the function below once the DOM is ready $(document).ready(function() { // choose text for the show/hide link - ca...

Hello All, I have a friend who is quite a capable programmer, especially considering that he is blind. Now he would like to start developing for Android. But, the problem I see him running into is that there appears to be no accessibility features for the Android emulator. Ideally he would be able to have his computer read the conten...
