I know that there is a book on wxWidgets, but has anyone offered to write a book on wx-devcpp? If not, I'd like to throw my hat in the ring.

No, please go ahead. I'd suggest that you make it a PDF, since wxdevcpp changes so fast, it would make not much sense to "print" it IMO. A good place to start is compile all the tutorials-FAQs and update'em.

I know that it is changing rapidly, but as a stable version approaches a good book might be something that could be sold to support the effort. I guess it could be done electronically, donate and get to download the PDF kind of thing.

Anyhow, I'll try to get things arranged and see what I can do about starting this project.

God love you! We really do need people willing to do more documentation. An easy start might be just a "book" of tutorials. We could really use tutorials on how to use sizers and how to use the gdb debugger from within wxdevcpp. Of course, whatever you want to do will certainly be a big help.

Thanks in advance.

p.s. There should be a 6.9 alpha installer out by Monday (alpha try #2). If it tests out ok, look for 6.9beta release a week from then.
Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey.

Cool. Tutorials are great, no doubt. But they are just in limited number. For instance, my post on knowing (or not knowing) about the 'Items' in the properties of a combo box is just one of those things that others might struggle with.

For those who have done tutorials, can I include them in the publication? If so, I need some author info so that proper credit can be given.

Yeah, you can include and update mine. Just let me know what you need to know.

I am also planning on getting back to my second tutorial shortly, so you'll have even more work.

Cool, I haven;t decided my exact approach, but consolidating some tutorials will be first on the list. I know that there are some common issues, things like how to plan an application or what all those files are for, that need to be covered in the context of wx-devcpp. I am looking forward to the challenge.

Howdy to all!

I am on the first day at a new job, and that plus moving has caused most of the delays. I expect that I will be able to attack the tutorials more now that I am getting settled in.
