Actually, I have only been using JAWS for a little over 3 years. After my
vision went downhill and I was forced to go on disability, I lost interest
in computing for about 20 years, so I was never a JAWS pioneer. I only go
back as far as JAWS 8.

Wow.
Gerald or David,
did either of you get to use JAWS for DOS?
I've always wondered how JFW worked on machines before Windows came out.

I still have lots of them laying around. Lol!

So long as you can access the compilers using JAWS it is all right with me
if it is discussed on here. Believe me I know what compilers are designed
to
do and I even have a COBOL compiler from my computer school days here.I
was
a programmer on an IBM 3090 main frame a while back until the job ran out.

Ok, this is the jaws list not programming but I will tell you about the C#
compilers below.
I guess David chimes in when he's tired of reading about programming
<smile>
So, this will be my last reply - please continue this thread on the
programming list.
The C# compiler is located in
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\csc.exe for the 32-bit
version
and 64-bit C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\csc.exe
Csc.exe is a command line compiler, so you have to open a Windows console
/
command prompt to compile and read compiler warnings and errors etc.
The above path is related to version 4 of the .NET framework.
I recommend adding C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 to your
path environment variable.
Doing that will allow you to simply type csc.exe some_program.cs when
you're
ready to compile your program.
If you don't add it to your path you'll need to type:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\csc.exe some_program.cs
every
time you compile.
A bit cumbersome to say the least.
So, let's pretend that you've written the well known Hello, World! Program
in C# and named the file containing the C# source code HelloWorld.cs.
To compile the program type:
Csc.exe HelloWorld.cs
This will produce HelloWorld.exe.
If your code contains errors the compiler will tell you on which line etc.
Good luck!

for .net, how can I compile it once I write it?

Python is regarded as a good language for beginners.
Personally I'm playing a bit with C and C++.
I write all my code in a text editor and compile/debug using only command

For .NET you only need a decent text editor since the .NET framework and
compilers is already present on all modern Windows systems.
For Python you need to download and install the Python interpreter from
www.python.org.

I already have Microsoft.net framework installed--do I need anything
else?
Also, what's the easiest language for starting developers?
Thanks,
Jorge

A lot of languages are available to you.
It depends on what you want to do.
Starting out with Microsoft's .NET platform is probably your best bet.
C# (the most widely used language in the .NET Framework - pronounced C
Sharp), Java and C++ are 3 examples of languages that are very popular.

Hi all:
Just wondering 2 quick things.
First, I"m interested in programing for the Windows platform.
How can I do it?
What languages are required and how can I go about learning them in a
JAWS-friendly way?
Thanks,
Jorge
