is your best resource for rapidly learning how to develop powerful, sophisticated
GUIs in your favorite programming language.
If you're a newcomer to GUI programming, this book will introduce you to the
basics of FXRuby programming by leading you through building a GUI application
with FXRuby from start to finish. If you're an experienced software developer
who just needs to get up to speed on FXRuby and what it can do for you, this

and how you can most effectively use layout managers to construct flexible user
interfaces.
Go beyond the basics with proven, practical knowledge and techniques for developing
real-world GUI programs in Ruby.
