[plt-scheme] Announce: GUIBuilder HOWTO/Tutorial Released
I've written A HOWTO/Tutorial for guibuilder (for drscheme)
Features are:
* Focuses on getting frames working inside functions
* Covers making your functions actually return values
* Includes my continuation trick for returning values
* Covers the guibuilder component archetecture
Future work will hopefully include:
* My continuation trick needs to be explained better
* Flesh out component architecture more
* Ephasize "style" in the eirlier sections, and how
most frames should be non-deterministic functions
(i.e. have no side effects).
* Report the Guibuilder "save bug" rather then just
try to work around it.
Undesireable features:
* Done in composer instead of texmacs. (broken links,
incosistant layouts, etc)
* Continuations section needs to be cleaned up.
* Section on 'how to use guibuilder without continuations'
goes for a while, then ends up going into a dead end. I
should either find a solution, or remove the section.
