Re: Learning wxPerl - the book (updated design docs)

Hello all,

Attached are the latest version of the design documents. I¹ve started to
separate the content into parts. I think the list of widgets and classes
that will be discussed in the book has developed quite nicely. Next week I
will begin with ³Part III ­ wxPerl Layout Management², where all the
different types of sizers and how to use them will be listed.

On a slightly different topic, I¹m not sure what the consensus was regarding
including a section ³A simple wxPerl program² in Part I. James indicated in
an earlier post that it should be included:

My own view is that we should include it, and the design doc currently lists
it immediately following the section ³Structure of a wxPerl program². Meir
had some doubt that it would have any value.

If we could come to an agreement on this, that would be brilliant.

Kind Regards,

Ron.
