I do this sort of thing all the time, in a classroom setting. Our database design course has a strong focus on database-driven web programming in JSP & Java. The class uses Oracle for the database system. So I run Apache Tomcat and Oracle's sqlplus client on my laptop. My prof can see that my web programs are doing what they're supposed to do. My sighted peers are using JDeveloper, which isn't a very practical development environment for a blind person. -- Chris
