wxSmith Tutorials Extended

<< < (3/3)

Alpha:
Good job on your additions.

I had a chance to skim through them - have you by any chance increased the font/display size on your computer?  The screenshots you added to the first tutorial are a bit larger than I may have expected.

One other idea to consider is to use <source lang="cpp"></source> to give syntax highlighting to the larger code snippets used in the last two tutorials.  With this, you could also use line numbers to cue the reader as to where to find the line(s) in question (see Creating a new project for an example of how I tried this - although, I think I may have gone a bit overboard with the formatting on that page).  However, highlighting versus none is just a matter of preference - you decide which you prefer.

Grouch:
Thanks for your kind words. I think it is a great idea to do syntax highlighting on the long pieces of code.  Give me a couple of days, or surprise me by finding it done!

In Tutorial 2, I added a section on using the main menu, a topic byo did not touch on.

Tonight, I worked on Tutorial 3. I had nothing to add, but I think I clarified it here and there and simplified some of the grammar. And of course supplied several hundred a's, an's and the's that don't exist in Polish.  I intend to do the same for Tutorials 4 and 6.

These tutorials are by far the best introduction I have found to wxWidgets. They are  fun, clear, and sufficiently comprehensive to get one up and running. That's why it is worthwhile to give the English in them a professional quality in keeping with the quality of the wxSmith programing and the conceptual plan of the tutorials.
