When i decide to create a GUI for my desktop “Ruby” application, i have
been stucked about wxruby.
Then i have looked at wxwindows and wxwidgets sources but the syntax was
not so familiar to me. Because the examples were written in C++
generally.
For understanding main concept this experience was good for me.
Later, for more familiar syntax i have looked at wxphyton sources and i
read many informations but it was not ruby at the end.
Do you suggest me any other sources for wxruby except examples which
come with gem installation?
Actually I’m looking wxPython and learning from wxPython in action,
I believe that if you following the book, the syntax wouldn’t be too
much
a problem, it is quite understandable. Anyway, I’m learning from the
book
and the wxPython/wxRuby example. (the wxWidget in C++ is far from
me too, so I chose python). Good luck.
There’s not much in “current” examples, or Tutorials, to help people
along with their development of wxRuby. But, you can also ask on here,
about a certain way a control is created, or used. You’ll find that a
lot of us will be happy to send you example code to implement what you
are trying to do, so that you can see how it’s done. Always feel free to
ask about some code here, to implement what you are trying to do.

I agree that the C++ code samples have a lot of language “noise” that
makes it hard to translate to Ruby; wxPython is probably a better
learning source.
Weft QDA, for example, is a database-based application with multiple
windows, dialogs and controls; it deals with structuring a larger
application.
As Mario says, questions about using the library are very welcome on
this list. wxRuby’s such a big API that everyone often ends learning
something from them, even if they seem simple.
Lastly, we will be looking to add more tutorials and examples; it’s only
really in the last six months or so that some core technical problems
have been resolved in the library, and the API firmed up - that’s been
occupying most of the time of the core dev team.
