Hi,
I recorded a flash video demonstrating Gorm and the StepTalk palette:
http://www.xdev.org/gnustep/demo.html
(and additionally I recorded it with Camaelon activated, so it's shiny
(too shiny
to be useable some would say ;-) , but perfect for a demo)
With the StepTalk palette you can program entire applications entirely
in Gorm --
It should be interesting for quickly build applications (if you need
something fast, you
can always add a normal ObjC object)
We could perhaps submit that to /., etc (good occasion to talk about
GNUstep no ?)
Nicely done indeed, but before we put that on slashdot I think we
should have a updated Live-CD (Gurkan?) to make the access to GNUstep
as easy as possible for the novice user. Otherwise the complex
installation process of GNUstep and the additional libraries could
easily frustrate (especially if you see how great the demo is and
everything looks) and shy away the newbies (everybody who knows how to
make GNUstep / Gorm / StepTalk / Camaelon work won't need that demo
anyway ...).
So we should have a refreshed Live-CD with the latest releases of all
the stuff, possibly we should also wait until that pending binary
compatibility breaking release is out to avoid upcoming hassles on the
user side. It would also be good to have the .gorm files used in the
demo available in some folder that accompanies the StepTalk palette on
the CD.
So for the novice user it would be only five steps:
1. See the demo
2. Be completely blown away by it
3. Download the Live-CD
4. Repeat the Demo
5. Become a new GNUstepper
;-)
Cheers,
