How to coach a developer with dyslexia to improve his spelling and grammar capabilities?
- by Uwe Keim
Just having read this question regarding developers with dyslexia, I still have some open questions on how to deal with it:
I am working on a project sinc approx. 6 month with a new developer who just finished university. I see that the code quality is high, what he's missing is the ability to write texts (even short ones) in an error-free manner (both, syntax and grammar errors).
He is working on some UI stuff (VS.NET 2010, ASP.NET 4) and, beside coding, has to write short text for labels, buttons, grid view headers, page titles, etc.
Since even those texts have errors inside, no matter how much I try to discuss the need for a professional, text-error-free UI, he seems to not manage to get this right, although he really tries.
So my questions are:
Are there any hints how he (or I) should proceed to enhance the text quality?
Do you know any tools (like inline spell checkers) for VS.NET to highlight syntax and grammar errors?
(We are working on a German-only UI, if this is important to know)
