[Ironruby-core] Magic - a new project for ironruby-contrib
Hi, I extracted a gem called Magic from my IronRuby UI experiments. It''s on GitHub here: http://github.com/thbar/magic/tree/master with a decent README (also see the main spec here: http://github.com/thbar/magic/blob/bdced06811d71ec7f1946a32a5a60d60afb99774/spec/magic_spec.rb). Roughly, it makes it quite easy to build Windows Forms (including controls and menu_items), with sugar for CLR enums, class names, properties and handlers. It''s also compatible with non-menu-items/controls stuff, like the BackgroundWorker (I''ll upload more samples later on). My rough guess is that it will be useful to much more than Windows Forms UI building (including WPF, Silverlight, or any nested object construction). I hope you''ll like it! Before I release this as a gem (through GitHub), I''d like to ask - do you like the name (Magic) ? I thought about switching to MagicCandy to make it easier to google. any feedback will be most appreciated, cheers, -- Thibaut
