Re: Gnoga - The GNU Omnificent GUI for Ada

[David Botton <david@botton.com>]

Todays Updates :)

1) 2 more Tutorials
2) Views will now deallocate dynamically created child objects on finalization
3) Moved Gnoga.Application.Multiuser to Gnoga.Application.Multi_Connect
4) Modified how app data is set for connections to now use the Main_Window, it will also deallocate it if dynamically created on finalization.
5) It is no longer necessary to use Connection.Hold unless desired for clean up on connection events.

In general as I am writing the tutorials I am doing as much as possible to simplify the API and make coding easier in Gnoga.

Here are a list of planned tutorials so far (the first 4 are now done and in the repo)

Tutorial-01 - Introduction to Gnoga applications
Tutorial-02 - Introduction to Event Handlers
Tutorial-03 - Introduction to Multi-Connection Apps
Tutorial-04 - Tasking and Gnoga
Tutorial-05 - Using the Canvas Control
Tutorial-06 - Popups windows, iFrames, and custom boot files with Gnoga
Tutorial-07 - Forms and Gnoga
Tutorial-08 - Database bindings and Schema Migrations using Gnoga
Tutorial-09 - Active Record - Data modeling in Gnoga
Tutorial-10 - Creating MVC apps and Sessions management in Gnoga

In each tutorial directory there is a README that summarizes additional aspects of Gnoga learned in that tutorial. It is worth reading through the READMEs and sources in each tutorial in order as they build on each other. They also teach far more than just their subject line about things you can do with Gnoga.
