Beta Gtk2Hs Getting Started

Hello All, The beta of the 'Gtk2Hs:Getting Started' short tutorial for beginners, Haskell GUI for Dummies, if you like :-) can be viewed at http://j-van-thiel.speedlinq.nl/gtk2hs/gtk2hsGetStart.html It tells what Gtk2Hs is, shows how to write and run 'Hello World', introduces the api and explains how to use it, refers to the Glade tutorials, gives an example of widget layout, and ends with some general pointers. It should take no more than 2,3 hours of the user's time. All feedback very welcome. Regards, Hans van Thiel

Nitpicking: Glade does not belong to GTK+, neither does libglade, which are independent projects. -- -alex http://www.ventonegro.org/

Though they're pretty tightly integrated. Glade is the recommended way to build Gtk+ UIs. Indeed the libglade functionality is going to be included in Gtk+ itself in the next major release. So yes, technically they're currently independent components but for the purposes of an intro tutorial I think it's fine to introduce them all as one programmer's toolkit. Duncan

Hooray! Thanks Hans. I should also note that a new release of Gtk2Hs is imminent. You can grab the latest pre-release and report any issues: http://haskell.org/gtk2hs/gtk2hs-0.9.10.4.tar.gz Duncan
