Hi Bryan,
I'll have to check this out, I was wondering how others had worked around
the interface builder issue.
Cheers,
Mitch

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:

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.
Good luck
Philippe

I'm going to take an introduction to computer programming and logic this
summer, and the instructor knows I am blind and that I use voice over on
the Mac. HE also is a MAc user, and he will be teaching the class this
summer. He told me that the class would be using Alice, but I've looked at
that program and it doesn't appear to be all that useful. So, does anyone
know of any intro level software development programs that can help me get
started to learn to program that works with v o?
Thanks.
Jes
