Ruby. Since its initial release in 2001, FXRuby has become
one of the most popular GUI choices for Ruby developers.
This book is your best resource for rapidly learning how to
develop powerful, sophisticated GUIs
in your favorite
programming language.
If you're a newcomer to GUI programming, this book will
introduce you to the basics of FXRuby programming by leading
you through building a GUI application with FXRuby from
start to finish. If you're an experienced software developer
who just needs to get up to speed on FXRuby and what it can
do for you, this book will help you put FXRuby to work in
your Ruby-based applications. Along the way, you'll learn
how to leverage FXRuby's vast collection of user interface
elements to build visually rich user interfaces. You'll see

can most effectively use layout managers to construct
flexible user interfaces.
