net programming I use visual studio 2005 since it was the standard version used at my internship and is very accessible using Jaws and a set of scripts that were developed to make things such as the form designer more accessible.įor C and C++ programming I use cygwin with gcc as my compiler and emacs or vim as my editor depending on what I need to do. In my experience as a general rule java programs that use SWT as the GUI toolkit are more accessible then programs that use Swing which is why I stay away from netbeans.

For java programming I use eclipse, since it’s a fully featured IDE that is accessible. I use windows xp as my operating system and Jaws to read what appears on the screen to me in synthetic speech.

I am a totally blind college student who’s had several programming internships so my answer will be based off these.
