Subject: Thank you - Great work Newsgroups: gmane.comp.gnome.bindings.java Date: 2008-11-12 19:00:26 GMT (33 weeks, 4 days, 4 hours and 39 minutes ago) Hey guys, I just want to thank you for this great API to GTK. It feels entirely natural in Java, is very comfortable and very approachable. The names and APIs are as you'd think them up when you'd draw a widget set API in your mind, thus they are easy to find, too. They also *work* as expected (as least so far, I am still new). Also, the documentation is good. The API documentation for each class has a nice prosa introduction text, which is very helpful and saves most "tutorials". I also appreciate that it points out just the right level of footangles to be aware of. All in all a really great piece of work. When you talked about "quality" on your website, I was suspect, as that's most of the time just words, but you really deliver quality. You show an good example of what quality means in the context of an API. Sun should take a good example from you (*cough* Swing *cough*), and many in the open-source world, too. Such brightness and care is rare. Thank you again for this masterpiece. It's a joy to work with it.
