follow the online tutorials and decipher the examples as best as I can.<br>Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.</blockquote>

<div>Your quite welcome for the input. If you have any questions about how Widgets work, and so on, feel free to ask, as one of us devs, or another user on the Mailing List, will be more then happy to help you out with it. Examples is the best way to learn how things work within wxRuby, as it is pretty much as it's shown there. It does take some time to learn, but don't get discouraged so easily. As Tim has pointed out, other toolkits are hard to work with, and some are not even fully cross-platform, or are a headache to deploy in any case.</div>
<div>Another nice thing that you will have with wxRuby, compared with other Toolkits, is the users, we have a Chat room #wxruby on <a href="http://irc.freenode.net">irc.freenode.net</a>, we have the Mailing List, and we consider ourselvs a very helpful bunch, even to those who are new not to just wxRuby, but new to Ruby itself to. Not very many other Toolkits can say the same.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Good luck with your learning experince, and again, ask any questions you may have, and feel free to look through our Mailing List Archives, there's quite a bit of information that has been discussed in the past over the mailing list, that can be easily looked through.</div>
