moin moin Harold,

Helping with accessability is awesome!

If you're not already familiar with programming I suggest a book that uses
a language to teach programming concepts and branch out from there.

I've been reading Practical Programming to re-familiarize myself with
Python. It seems to be a decent book for learning to program. While I
haven't done much development in years, I used to do a lot. As such, I'm
not a beginning programmer, so my evaluation might be biased.

https://pragprog.com/book/gwpy2/practical-programming

The e-book is DRM free.

Lots of software is written in Python, so there are many opportunities
with it.

A complaint that has come up on this list is KDE's lack of an
accessability API. I know KDE wants to have one, but it hasn't yet
happened.

KDE work would likely be in C++, so you could target that language instead
if you want to work on KDE.

ciao,

der.hans
