It looks like Shoes is the easiest GUI but I'm a little afraid when I dont have a book or something to learn from thats why I went with FXRuby because it has a book, but since it looks like learning a GUI is like learning a new language I want to make the right decision and stick with one for a while. I will give Shoes a try. Excuse my ignorance but is it possible to make small animations with Ruby? If yes, is this what the GUI is for? When I say small animation I'm talking about mouse over transitions and all the simple stuff NOT animations for banners or anything like that. Do I need a separate program to package the application? I usually get exited about being able to create an application using a language like ruby, thats why I want to give it a try. Thanks a lot -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
