Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows about a tutorial  
which explains how to use ruby and glade.

I searched on google and the archives of this mailing  
list as well as I could, but I haven’t found much.

I don’t know if there are any tutorials but I looked through the code  
of Grism ([http://www.grism.org](http://www.grism.org)) - a stock tracker app written in Ruby  
and using Glade - and I learnt quite a bit.

the ruby binding to libglade comes w/ several examples (on my debian  
box they’re stored under /usr/share/doc/libglade2-ruby/examples.  
basically it’s super-intuitive though. you just load your  
glade-interface file into a variable w/ GladeXML.new and then that  
variable acts as a hash that you access all your widgets from.

good luck,
