wxruby users - Nov 2006 - Great work on wxRuby2

I''m impressed by the latest release of wxRuby2! Thanks to all the
developers
who worked on making this possible. It''s great to have wxWidgets
working
with Ruby - and the new sample programs are a tremendous help.

There is a 700+ page book on wxWidgets - Cross-Platform GUI Programming with
wxWidgets<http://www.phptr.com/content/images/0131473816/downloads/0131473816_book.pdf>(Bruce
Perens'' Open Source Series), by Julian Smart, Kevin Hock, Stefan
Csomor. This book is freely available as a PDF file - at
http://www.phptr.com/content/images/0131473816/downloads/0131473816_book.pdf.
I also bought the printed book, which includes a CD containing the
book''s
sources/samples etc. Although the book concentrates on the wxWidgets C++
API, I''ve found it to be an excellent reference for thinking about this
with
Ruby in mind.

Hoping this reference might prove helpful to others who are working with
wxRuby2,

- Brian

Thanks for the encouragement; we appreciate positive feedback as well as 
bug reports... happy to say that there''s already lots more good stuff
in
the pipeline in subversion for the next release.

Certainly a useful reference on how the API works.

We''re trying to expand the wxRuby documentation so it includes more 
explanation as well as a being class reference. The docs are written in 
lightweight Textile markup, so it''s easy to add to - contributions with
the kind of detailed info found in the C++ book are welcome.
