foxGUIb is a tool developed by Meinrad Recheis (aka Henon) that you can use to interactively build user interfaces for FXRuby. The project’s home page includes some screen shots and general information about its use, and Mike Parr has contributed a user guide to help you get started with its use.

Henon has just announced that he’s making plans for the 1.0 release of foxGUIb, and he’s asking you for your requests in terms of desired features and changes for the software. If you have suggestions for him, or would like to pitch in and help out with that project, be sure to follow up with him!

This was waiting for me in the mail when I went home at lunch today.

The book, FXRuby: Create Lean and Mean GUIs with Ruby, is finally done! Thanks very much to all of the reviewers and Beta book readers who gave me such great and helpful feedback over the last few months. Print copies of the book should begin shipping soon. I’m expecting to receive my own copy in the mail any day now.

Last week my editor, Susannah Pfalzer, interviewed me about the book for the Pragmatic Programmers’ podcast series, and that podcast has just dropped. If you’ve been holding off on buying the book, some of the things that Susannah and I talk about in the podcast may help you to understand a bit better about what the book covers.
