Folks,
I still haven't heard from Vince about the details of his woes
with the Catalyst Library, but since we are talking about clear
instructions this morning, I thought I might pass along this
note that I got last night. Here, the clear instructions are
NO instructions!
I thought that I would just write a note to say how much I
appreciate you making the Catalyst library open-source!
I have been an IDL programmer since about 1993 (version 3.something,
I think!). I use IDL mainly for what it is good at, namely rapid
development of scientific data analyses. For the past 10 years
or so, I have been mainly using it as a glorified scripting
language, although I did write a very large application a
number of years ago.
I have just had the need to create a fairly large new GUI
application and I thought that, with the benefit of knowledge
of other application development in Java, I would try to create
something coded to 2008 standards. Just by chance, I logged
onto your site last week and I haven't looked back. The whole
user interface - some 80 active elements - went up with great
ease in a couple of evenings.
This is more in line with my experience with Catalyst, but I'm
still wondering what it was Vince was running into. I'm interested
in your experience. It is *almost* ready for its official release. :-)
Cheers,
David
