Desktop multi-plataform ruby app

[James Britt]

Dear Monkeybars developers,

how did you produce the videos ?

David made them on a Mac using some magic Mac software ; hopefully
he'll pipe up on this thread and give a real answer.

(I use Kubuntu and really can't tell one mac app from another. )

I'd seriously like to know how to continue here. Either I missed a tutorial page
somewhere or the tutorials stop short of actually building a form and connecting
it to the Ruby program. Did I miss something?

Possibly. The monkeybars site has a screencast walking though the
coding of an app, including creating a form and wiring it up.


If you have more problems, please contact me directly, or post questions
to the monkeybars list.

Which network? Freenode? The #monkeybars channel there has no topic
and one person idling in it.

Well, it's Sunday, and I just got back home. I confess that IRC support
on the weekends is less than ideal.

Folks can E-mail me if they can't get help on irc.

James, you're an amazing fellow!

Thank you.

Truth is, I hang with amazing people and some of it rubs off.

Hail everyone!

This is my first post here.

I want to develop a desktop app that runs in either linux or windows.
I have many doubts about which GUI i should use. What's the best option? I
heard about wxwidgets or tk, but have no idea of what i should use.

I would prefer something that has a graphical app that can help me creating
the visual part.

Thanks and best regards.

QT, Ruby and Rubyscript2exe is a great combination. There is qt
designer for building the gui. The widgets look good on windows. All
that is required to get started on windows:

*)download the one click installer
*)download and install the qtruby gem

The only disadvantage that i can see:

*)is the licensing if you are not developing open source software.
*)once the script is packaged (so that you can use it on other PCs)
using rubyscript2exe there is a few seconds delay before the app is
loaded.

There are a few example projects on the site: http://monkeybars.rubyforge.org/examples.html
These are also part of the source repository in the examples
directory: http://gitorious.org/projects/monkeybars/repos/mainline/trees/master/examples

As for the tutorial pages just leaving off, this is my fault. I got
the pages for installing Netbeans and configuring your environment but
didn't get back to getting into the usage of Monkeybars. I will be
working on that today and will send out an announcement to our mailing
list when it is uploaded. There is a form to join the mailing list
here: http://monkeybars.rubyforge.org/docs.html

Thank you for your patience.
