Hello,
I've posted an example of a simple model-view-controller GUI skeleton
in Clojure here:
http://lifeofaprogrammergeek.blogspot.com/2009/05/model-view-controller-gui-in-clojure.html
The GUI has a text box and a panel which draws what you type. It's not
much, but I learned a lot doing it, and thought perhaps others could
benefit from seeing it.
The add-watch function is so cool!
There's probably lots of room for improvement, I would appreciate any
recommendations. I've started looking at neman.cells, but don't really
understand it yet. Might using cells simplify this code?
Best,
Curran
Here's the code:
;A test program exploring how to structure GUI code in Clojure
;The GUI draws whatever you type in the text field nicely in the panel
below.
