Shoes is a simplified experimental GUI toolkit based on the Ruby Programming Language, developed by why the lucky stiff and others. It is used for education, and to allow easy access to programming for those with few skills or little experience in programming. Shoes runs on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (GTK+), using the underlying technologies of Cairo and Pango.
The syntax utilises the basic ideas of stacks and flows, which in Shoes correspond (roughly speaking) to windows and their contents.
The ease of construction is shown by these few lines of code, which construct a window and a button which changes the displayed message:
Shoes.app { @push = button "Push me" @note = para "Nothing pushed so far"
@push.click { @note.replace "Aha! Click!"
Uses
The toolkit is not intended, at this stage, for serious production development, being intended to promote easy learning and to make that learning enjoyable [http://community.zdnet.co.uk/blog/0,1000000567,10009000o-2000331777b,00.htm] .
