Hi. Jess is probably looking for something simple to use for learning programming concepts. For that, even Python would do. Python is built-in on the Mac. You can write Python scripts in TextEdit, and run them in the terminal.
I wanted to let you, and others, know, though, that developing full desktop applications with XCode is accessible. The XCode development environment works extremely well with VoiceOver, even the parts that are usually a pain in other environments (like the debugger). Interface Builder, the tool that helps you to create the user interfaces of your program through a easy to use visual designer, isn't accessible. However, you can use my RenaissanceX system/dev kit to create user interfaces by describing what you want in a simple markup file that looks a lot like HTML. RenaissanceX will examine your descriptions of the types of controls that you need, and how they are related, and will automatically create a window with those controls arranged per Apple's User Interface Guidelines. More info is available at: http://www.bryansmart.com/renaissancex This is a work in progress, but it works, right now. It supports nearly all Cocoa user interface objects, and it works great with VoiceOver.

Hello Jess, I think xCode with InterfaceBuilder is not accessible with VO. If you want to learn programming without graphical interface, you can use a lot of langages. The applications will run in the terminal. If you want to learn simple langage with graphical interface, you can learn AppleScript. You will find a lot of doc on the web.
