Hi! I think I can give you a hand. I wanted to do a tutorial too about Gtk# and Mono, and the tribulations one can encounter as a newbie. So far my experience with Mono is only a rather simple Gnome application that I made, which is a front-end for Mencoder. It has been a very good learning experience for me, and with every problem I have found, I got to know some of the internals of Gtk#. The app is not finished by any means, but does its job currently. I had a few problems with threads and Gnome, and I think that is something newbies (especially the ones that are migrating from Windows) will face many times in the future.

I am using now Eclipse for developing, so I can relate my experience with it, which is very positive. It's the best tool I know for developing on C# (don't know very much of Visual Studio.NET so I can't comment on that).

Please count me in for the mono/gtk#/glade#/glib# sections, and in the future with Gconf# (got to implement the preferences yet). If I do a big polish to my app we can count it as a sample.

Hi there! I had this crazy idea of a Gnome.NET tutorial, which could be a nice starting point for programmers whishing to get to understand and or develop with mono & gtk#. here: http://mwh.sysrq.dk/the_mono_tutorial/ is a beginning, containing very much nothing ;) My idea is to give an aplications programmer a nice overview and samples of code to get started. That is to be broad and not go into too much detail. Now I hope to get some feedback from you. 1. Is this a good or bad idea? 2. Which content do you think should be covered in the tutorial? 3. Is this allready being done? 4. If you want to do this too please contact me. -- -- Martin Willemoes Hansen -------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail mwh <at> sysrq.dk Website mwh.sysrq.dk IRC MWH, freenode.net -------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list <at> ximian.com
