Re: [Gumstix-users] [OT]: Building front-end GUIs on OSX

[James C. <ja...@ca...>]

Hey Marc, I've just embarked on building a GUI using RubyCocoa framework - 
found a really good guide 
(http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/10/05/cocoa.html) which i 
followed then started afresh to make my own 
(http://wiki.ukhas.org.uk/projects:groundcontrol). Its a nice combination 
as the gui can be easily built with IB (in Xcode) and then ruby can do the 
rest. Taken me a couple of days but i reckon its worth it.

Hope that helps

James
