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.

Sorry this isn't Java, but I recall watching a talk of how a blind developer used Visual Studio with screen reader narration. It was quite interesting and I applaud you for seeking the challenge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94swlF55tVc

Was literally going to link this myself. He explains to the non-blind how he does it, so it could very well be applied in the reverse.
