Hi,
You may ask if it's a suicidal question or whatever, I just wanted to
give you my impressions. I don't want to hurt anyone.
Usually when I subscribe to a mailing list, I enjoy answering others
questions and asking mine too, but not here for the moment.
I asked several questions here, without any answer. Some were pretty
simple, some just suggest I was on a wrong direction (in this case, I'll
have liked someone told me why), but that's not the question. The fact
that they remain unanswered just lets you Alone inside a community. I
don't care about being or not a 'newbie', we all have been in whatever
domain.
I had to found the answers myself (not even in the only Qt4 book as it
doesn't covers Qt4.2 and more), sometimes spending hours on a ridiculous
detail.
PyQt4's docs/wiki/demos are quite well written, but you have to
understand that everybody:
1- does not speak English as a natural language (so reading those docs
maybe a problem sometimes);
2- does not master C++ syntax;
3- is not a Python master.
I don't know if it's the fashion, but the majority of the posts here
turn around the installation of this or that. That's a good point to
seek new people and make the communtity grow.
But if you follow this by sharing ideas/snippets/explanations, like some
have done (thanks to David Boodie, the pages on the wiki helped me a
lot), without this scorn which some "big ones" have. When I see answers
like 'Look at the docs', 'It's working for me, bye', etc. I just wonder
myself how these guys have been helped in their "genius" life.
I've made a few apps with PyQt4 (a few more with other toolkits, but I
really like PyQt), and even build a new widget (the more complex being
the QTextEdit with line numbers : http://www.box.net/shared/qfoquamm11),
I'm now asking myself if I had to share them one day...
What do you think of it ?
Maybe I'm totally wrong, I just wanted to let you know that sometimes
programming maybe very frustrating when you're alone.
Sorry for my language, cheers :
Kib².
