Re: [ZooLib-dev] My New Years Resolution

[David L R. <zo...@dr...>]

A good cookbook and nice example code, I think will kickstart Zoolib. 
Good examples will get the intermediate C/C++ programmers in who are 
looking for a good cross platform framework to play with. Once they 
know the code then they are more likely to stick with it as they 
learn and hopefully help build.

I look forward to reading your work!

To force your beliefs on others, thats wrong. To force your culture 
on others, thats wrong. One should always walk the talk and if others 
follow then be proud they respect you or your beliefs and join with 
free will.
