Jake,

Download the full wxWidgets 2.6 source from their website (or find  
the Debian source package for it).  Configure it and build it  
yourself.  You don't need to run "make install" if you've already  
installed the Debian package, but it's helpful to have your own copy  
of the full source.

Go into the samples directory and build some samples one at a time.   
Start with "minimal".  Read through the source code and get an idea  
for how it works.  Try modifying some things.  Add a button to the  
window, add an item to the menu, etc.

It comes with documentation in HTML and other forms, but here are  
some pointers to the online version:

Here's a page that walks you through "hello, world" - very similar to  
the "minimal" sample:

   http://www.wxwidgets.org/manuals/2.6.2/wx_helloworld.html

Documentation on the samples - ideas on which ones to start with and  
where to go next:

   http://www.wxwidgets.org/manuals/2.6.2/wx_samples.html#samples

A rough guide to creating a wxWidgets application - this is often a  
good place to look when you want to add something but don't know what  
it's called, for example a "status bar"

   http://www.wxwidgets.org/manuals/2.6.2/wx_roughguide.html#roughguide

I think you should write several hundred lines of wxWidgets code  
before you should try messing with Audacity.  Audacity will make a  
lot more sense then.

Good luck,
Dominic
