Rich Kilmer knows a bit about it. We're trying to leverage Flash... the power and ease of Ruby with the drawing API and player base of Flash... we'll see if it pans out. I'll keep your suggestions on an ever growing list. I think most of them will be easy to answer. What a GUI should offer:: ********* is cross-platform has ease of development has native integration makes it reasonably easy to mark up forms by hand is cross-compatable allows for a great deal of versitility in page layout has speed and stateless opertation has capable widgets allows realatvie ease of coding has good docs NOT linux only (or windows only) has rad tools, or at least some form of rad-like programmability won't be spending numerous months hand coding guis not have the end result (is) lack luster anyway allows you to just be(ing) lazy accepts the fact that you don't have the time allows a complex form's creation to take (took) merely a day or two avoids the verbosity and nit-picking detail *********** So - you're saying that if a GUI offered all that - you'd use it? Anything else? : ) -Rich ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Sawyer" To: "ruby-talk ML" Sent: Sunday, September 01, 2002 11:21 AM Subject: Re: What would you want in a Ruby GUI? - WAS: Re: Ruby jobs
