Hey everybody, I just added a tutorial page to the wiki, and created a brief introductory tutorial to get a new user going. I plan to add more tutorials on basics and more advanced coding as time permits. Take a look if you get a chance, and give me feedback. You can access the tutorial page under the Latest News section, or through Introduction to wxRuby under Starting Points. Don''t be afraid to put in your two cents - maybe you see a better way that I didn''t (besides, hindsight is twenty-twenty :) Robert _________________________________________________________________ All the action.

We are going to need a lot more of this as wxRuby moves more mainstream. When we do our next wxRuby release, in the Windows installer, I''m going to add a direct link to the tutorial page from in the Start Menu shortcuts. Also, sometime in the next couple weeks I''m going to be starting on a wxRuby application, and once I get some actual experience under my belt I will contribute some tutorial material, also.

It was one of the most-requested "features" in the survey last year, and is critical for the success of wxRuby. Thanks Robert! Kevin

In case you didn''t bother hunting for it, I have saved you the trouble. Now you are obligated to go take a look at the tutorial, if you haven''t already :-) Kevin
