FXRuby in the News
The FXRuby book has been available for a few weeks now and some of the early reviews are beginning to come in, so I wanted to do a quick roundup of what people are saying about it:
- Peter Cooper reviewed the book for the popular Ruby Inside blog, saying “Windows and Linux Ruby developers could find FOX, FXRuby and this book an excellent path into developing GUI applications with Ruby.”
- Werner Schuster of InfoQ interviewed me about FOX, and the implementation of FXRuby. This article includes a special exclusive chapter from the new book.
- Jesper de Jong reviewed the book and gave it 8 out of 10 horseshoes, writing “I like the way the book is set up; if you’re new to FXRuby, like I was when I started reading the book, then the first part is a nice and easy tutorial, and the second part is a good reference to most of FXRuby’s features if you’re using it in your own applications. So the book is useful for beginners and experienced users alike.”
If you’re interested in reviewing the book for your web site, blog, podcast, newsletter or public access television show, please let me know!

Thanks for the mention. It’s certainly a good book and I wish you every success with it! It will be interesting to hear over time how it goes.
May 20th, 2008 at 1:04 pmI just read through most of the book…As a Ruby super-beginner i must say the tutorial in the beginning of the book is one of the best tutorials i’ve followed. Very informative and explains what the code you’re adding is at every stage…(and checks you’ve put it in the right order too!) large thumbs up for this book…*scuttles off to try out some self initiated FXRuby programming *
