Howto (mostly) visually code GUI application on Linux using Ruby and Glade.
If you’re a Visual xxxxx programmer, this might make Linux look a bit more approachable.

Awsome stuff man!
Only complaint i have is: Can’t you press the keys a bit
softer?, it gets annyoing after awhile.
thank you for this info!
it’s pronounced oo-BOON-too not oo-BUN-too (and it’s 7.04, by the way) – but great video anyway.
Awsome =D
Hi tylerjwilk,
I am using Eclipse with my Afae (multi-language textmate wanna be) plugin. Eclipse dot org and afae dot robrohan dot com.
Rohanr2, nice vid thanks. I have to ask though.. What IDE is that your using to write your Ruby code ?
good work, thanks a lot
That’s what I was looking for!!!!!! Thank you so much for taking time to do this video.
chaperonnoir: ya plus the command line is generally a faster method of getting things done anyway.
Thanks for the comment ChaperonNoir. Just to clarify, it doesn’t actually compile anything, the command line bit just makes a template with with the needed callbacks for the UI events. You could type that file by hand if you wanted to.
I watched it, it’s interesting. The form designer doesn’t look too bad. I’m used to win32 gui with C/assembly programming so i watched this by pure curiosity. Even thought these interpreted languages are supposed to be easy, i don’t see the real ease of use. You still have to compile your resources (xml file), and do some command line magic, something that everyone will lose time with.
