wxForty-Two

Do you know where your towel is?

After way too long since it was last edited, the wxPython Roadmap has finally been updated. Please direct any questions or comments to the wxPython-dev mail list.

While browsing around on the Packt Publishing web site after looking at the page for Cody's book I saw that there are currently a couple promotional deals that may interest some of you. There is the Python Month deal that will give you 20% off any Python book they publish, or 30% off of any Python eBook.  The other deal is that you can currently get any 5 eBooks from Packt for $40.

The wxPython community now has a 2nd book about our favorite UI toolkit. The book is "wxPython 2.8 Application Development Cookbook" written by Cody Precord and published by Packt Publishing. Cody is the creator of the awesome Editra source code editor and a frequent participant on the wxPython-users mail list. There is an eBook version of the text available from Packt Publishing, and you can get the printed version from Packt or from other booksellers such as amazon.com.

I haven't read all the recipes yet, but from what I've seen so far I can say that they are informative and do a good job of explaining the demonstrated techniques and the concepts used or implemented in the sample source code.  I think that there will be something for everyone in this book, from newbies all the way up to experienced users.

Congrats Cody!

A number of people have asked me about it and so I finally decided that it is high time that I give the whole twitter thing a try.  Of course I've gotten into it late enough that my usual user name, RobinD is already taken, although that page returns an error.  (I suspect that somebody got their account suspended...)  Strangely enough somebody has already registered the wxPython name, although they haven't tweeted anything since last July...  Anyway, if you'd like to follow me or send me messages on twitter I am known there as RobinD42. Bear with me while I take my first steps in this new environment...
