Zusammenfassung: | Computer programming, a career path that has been accessible to the blind, has changed in recent years as more systems use graphical user interfaces. These changes make it more difficult for the blind to work productively as programmers. Visual Basic, a RAD programming language that stores forms in text format, requires a great deal of information to be specified. A scripting language is introduced which simplifies the task and allows blind programmers to specify forms in a much simpler fashion. An example and a formal grammar are included. |
