GWindows Tutorials

GWindows Tutorials

[David Botton]

Ever wish you could be programming Windows applications with Ada?
Maybe you thought it was too difficult or the learning curve to high........

GWindows makes it easy and learning to program GWindows just got easier!

So far, 11 short tutorials and more on the way. Each introducing another
simple facet of the power of the GWindows frame work.

Go ahead take a look:

http://www.adapower.com/gwindows/user_guide.html

then take a look at the many sample programs included in the distribution to
get a little more depth.

GWindows should be going Beta this week after I complete my current review
of the code.

What is GWindows? Take a look at http://www.adapower.com/gwindows to get an
idea.

Very nice work David. I'm not using GWindows myself, but I do appreciate the
effort you are making to support Ada.

Congratulations.

Pascal.

What we should do now is combine AWS and GWindows, to create an Ada web
browser. Combine this with AdaXml for XML editing, and you can have
something very cool.
I am pressed for time right now, or I'd do it myself.

Uhh, yeah me too... :-)

Come on. You have to admit that there's just a *little* more to making a web
browser than slapping together XML and HTTP protocol support.

However, the two might be fairly useful for building webcrawlers, site mirrors,
and the like. 

Or perhaps you could just slap together AdaCLIPS
(http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/AdaClips/AdaClips.html ), AdaXML, and AWS,
to create your own intelligent web-based "agents". I'm pressed for time right
now, or I'd do it myself. :-)

webcrawlers and such are nice, and AWS allows you to get a lot of work done
quickly. No need for a windows library. I did some work, and am going to
enhance them with the new support for coockies.

I didn't mean to imply building an IE6 compatible browser. I meant something
a lot simpler, but still useful, and a fun project.
Basically, getting the the HTML, ultra-simply rendering and display -
including links.
This shouldn't be too hard to do.

After that, the sky's the limit....

It's all just a SMOP any way.
