Quickest interview

I dunno, I think this past show (GTK dev. author) interview the team was a bit umprepared with their questions. Maybe is that I was too excited of talking with someone on GTK as opposed to Gnome guy.

i basically wanted to know many things regarding the GTK environment. Most users that use gnome and kde can see the different widgets tand behaviros that each toolkit generate.

Many users have seen the difference of using the file chooser in KDE vs Gnome.

I would have like to see a textbox autocomplete as opposed to the more akward cookiecrumb type buttons in Gnome file chooser.

What is the status of development from GTK# and is it just a binding or were they develop specifically for mono or is it just a .net abstraction of the current GTk.

Also a technical rundown on how the toolkit is constructed. I guess all this info is on their site but it would have been so much easier to just ask him. I guess is my fault for not putting this post before today.

Well we talked to Andrew for over 50 minutes. His book publisher was supposed to send us some advance copies of his book. They didn't. Thanks for the questions in the IRC during the show though. I think he answered most of them.

It was a good show, good to hear how the US educational system works.

Loved hearing all the playful banter, where i live , the nearest beach is Brighton which is around 1 and 30hr away. Having one on your doorstep makes me jealous

jza , perhaps not a autocomplete textbox but inline spell checking, embedded hyperlinks and other stuff .. libsexy
