FXRuby - Create Lean and Mean GUIs with Ruby (2008).pdf - RUBY Programming - Ryjufka

What readers are saying about FXRuby

Learning a GUI framework should be easy, but it’s usually hard.

Reading this book, I realized by contrast that the reason it’s usually

hard is that it’s no fun. L yle’s results-oriented approach to teaching

makes learning FXRuby fun, and therefore easy. This book is a moti-

vating, well-written tutorial about getting things done in one of Ruby’s

most established widget toolkits from its most authoritative source.

FXRuby is a rich, mature GUI toolkit that L yle has maintained and

documented very well for years. With the addition of this excellent

book, this toolkit becomes only that much more usable.

Hal Fulton

Author, The Ruby Way

I was paid to develop a GUI app using Ruby back in 2003, and I

quickly settled on FOX/FXRuby as the right toolkit because of the

exceptional quality of the bindings and the high level of support L yle

provided. My only regret? That I didn’t have this book! With it open on

your desk and the online references loaded in your browser, nothing

should be stopping you from building an amazing desktop application

using Ruby.

L yle’s deep knowledge of FXRuby ensures that this engaging book will

prepare you to make cross-platform GUIs in very little time at all.

FXRuby: Create Lean and Mean GUIs with Ruby is a well-written

text straight from the horse’s mouth: a book about FXRuby from the

author of FXRuby. You can’t get better than that, unless, of course,

the library wrote the book itself.

Jeremy McAnally

Developer/technical writer, ENTP

This book is an excellent introduction to FXRuby programming. L yle

does a good job of getting you started with the basics and moving on

to more advanced topics at just the right pace.
