Learning java while blind

Hay everyone as the title suggests I am blind and trying to learn java. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience, knolage or perhaps even knows one of the very illusive blind devs. If so I would realy appreciate any help you could offer.

Ok. I just have one question, are you partially blind or completely blind. This will change my next response.

Alright, then. Use eclipse as your ide. It has auto class and method completion. Then memorize how Java creates classes and methods. Do that first. If you don't mind asking how do you see your program?
