Hi Everyone, My name is Sean Lindsay, and I have recently joined the wxRuby project. I have been talking with Alex and have agreed to update the tutorial. I have started by placing a link to a new temporary tutorial page so that the old one can stay in place for the time being. I have written up a preliminary table of contents and would be happy to hear any comments/suggestions/questions/complaints about it and the topic of tutorials in general. Best Regards, Sean -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/wxruby-development/attachments/20071002/6b881db1/attachment.html
Sean, Good start. Have you thought on adding a section on how to interpret normal wxWidgets c++ style syntax to that of wxRuby? This would be helpful for people who may find code samples that are in c++. For example you could talk about the use of blocks for event handling, automatic aliases for getter/setter methods to the "Ruby" way, using blocks for paint events, etc. Glad to see you spell your name the right way ;) Sean On 10/2/07, Sean <ukimi367 at gmail.com> wrote:> Hi Everyone, > > My name is Sean Lindsay, and I have recently joined the wxRuby project.

Since we have two or more Sean on here, I''m just going to use full names for now. ;-) Anyways, I hope you don''t mind, but I''m hi-jacking your Tutorial page a little bit, to put in a link to a tutorial I''m writting up, which is for doing Network programming, and how to do an Asynchronous Socket type programming so as to not block wxRuby. The main reason why I am doing this, is cause after a lot of debate on how to implement wxSocketClient and wxSocketServer, I''ve found that I''m kinda at a dead point, and need input. So I''m throwing up what I''ve learned so far with the information I have, to see what everyone else thinks, and get a general feeling on how wxSocketClient and wxSocketServer should be implemented in the full Ruby Version. I am working on it now as I write this, and already have the first page of the 5 page tutorial up. There''s a lot to write I guess. LOL TTFN, Mario Steele
