Good. I find creating those small prototypes and producing a screencast
about them a good way to document my learning. I've had great suggestions
on things to improve and even people using the tools, and I'm very happy
that I can help create a better understanding of our UI tooling.
I try not to let my heavy VB past influence me too much when it is not
appropriate, but the idea of dragging widgets to a canvas, using some
tools to apply layouts, and knowing what event messages are available
to you appeals greatly to me. I've always wanted to try that, and it
seems quite possible now. Thank you! Rob
That was one of the early attractions of Delphi too. Nice for small
prototypes
but difficult to scale. No good tools to change the text field
background color
in all 135 forms. Good to combine with a generated application, where less
used views and flows are generated automatically and you only override
important views.
