Try to lose the "sighted way vs blind way" divide as much as you can in your mind, as it's going to constantly trip you up otherwise. There's no such thing.

Code is, if we take it all the way to the basics, text. Text written in a certain way so computers can parse and interpret it. That means there are no inherent accessibility issues with code itself. There may be languages the syntax of which lends itself a bit better to screen readers, but this difference is extremely minor at best and can be emulated using screen reader dictionaries etc. if desired.

Using VS Code is a good idea, as it is currently an accessible option for screen reader users, and it's editor shows up in all sorts of places outside of VS Code, so it's good to get familiar with it.

Make sure you have access to the code. If this is a video course, you are going to need some kind of way to see the code shown in the video, for even if the instructor narrates their code you will miss things as not every tiny bit of punctuation will be narrated, which means you need some familiarity with the syntax of whatever you're learning to fill in the blanks otherwise. Having handouts per video/per lecture helps some with this. Obviously this won't be a problem if the course is largely text-based.

You will almost certainly be slower than everybody else, particularly if you try to follow along in class. I'd recommend listening in class first if this is a lecture-style affair, and then follow along using an archived recording instead.

If you see something that doesn't immediately make sense, do some digging. I have had students that would freeze because a guide told them to click the "Play" button to run the program, a button they couldn't find because it was labeled "Run" instead. Try things. You likely won't break anything.

I think your biggest obstacles will be the aforementioned possibility of only seeing code in videos/during lectures, and the use of tools that may not be as accessible as they could be ...Notion, Figma and such come to mind.

Hope that helps some.

I am blind and teach sighted children to code. So here are my quick tips.

1. Use windows
2. Use the insiders build of VSCODE, it has some interesting audio notifications
3. Using power shell in its own window is more accessible than the built-in one.
4. Live share inside VSCODE is quite accessible

Any other questions just ask

I learned most of what I know with sight, but I don't think it's much different to learning blind since I still learn stuff these days and my process is more or less the same. At the moment I do not have any suggestions specific to blindness for you other than to use Braille if you are fluent and have a display since it likely helps with learning syntax, but if you have more specific questions I will probably be able to answer.

I agree, don't make the blind vs sighted divide.
Learn mainstream languages. Don't learn BGT, it's out of date and the developer said not to use it.
I would recommend starting with python and vscode. Python is very easy but vscode just makes it a blast to work with.
Have your NVDA punctuation mode at most or all when coding.
Also, press nvda+control+d, alt+i, change that to beeps and then press enter, then nvda+control+c to save that setting. Or, you could make a configuration profile for vscode.
Good luck!
