wxWidgets 3 book

[malloc]

I was looking for a book on wxWidgets and the one that seems to be the most popular is ten years old (2005) and mentions wxWidgets 2.8 only (Cross-Platform GUI Programming with wxWidgets).

Is there an updated book for wxWidgets 3 in the works? Or better yet, is the v3 API similar so that reading this book would not be a waste of time?

I'm currently looking for the fastest way to get up to speed with wxWidgets (haven't used it before).

Thanks.

Not that i know of.

Yes, and it's still a good resource to learn the basic structure of a wxWidgets application.

I can also recommend this tutorial:
http://zetcode.com/gui/wxwidgets/

And this about "sizers", the layout tools that wxWidgets uses. Most beginners have problems with those:

In My spare time I love to blog about wx also.

Those are great resources, thanks. I'll give the book a go, too.

@evstevemd, as I was reading your wxWidgets 101 series I found a serious security flaw in your website (exposed code and SQL) but I can't PM you since I don't have enough reputation yet. I don't want to post it here for obvious reasons but if you want to you can get in touch with me via Twitter private message (at lefok) and I'll show you what I found. Looks like an easy fix.

I'll contact you there.
