Hi, > It occurred to me that we could start a Wave and have interested > parties contribute to the wave to port the various tutorials to Gtk# I had a small concern that the PyGtk or Gtkmm tutorials don't follow the same workflow as someone would while working with MonoDevelop.
Instead of making it look like widgets have to be created, allocated and configured manually via the code, maybe it might make more sense to demonstrate the GUI designer and property grid which removes the need to write most of the code. There seem to be only a few "useful methods" and "useful properties" of a widget that needs highlighting - like the Buffer for Gtk.TextView and the PixBuf for Gtk.Image. Most of the code in the tutorial are for creating and configuring properties of the widget, and a very little portion of it is in adding the business logic. It might also make sense to build an entire app which uses most of the widgets, and writing corresponding documentation. For example - a basic twitter client covering all the widgets and evolving like a normal project - from very basic functionality to something encompassing more widgets. I would love it if each step of the tutorial was a git commit so that I can see what portion of the code affects what feature by reading the diffs.
