<h1>Taking Conferences by Storm</h1>
|
|
<p><span class="newsDate">[22-September-2006]</span>
|
|
It's conference season in the PHP world and no PHP conference would be complete without a PHP-GTK 2 presentation (you hear that DCPHP!). Earlier this month Andrei, demonstrated how easy it is to create powerful desktop applications with PHP-GTK 2 at <a href="http://hades.phparch.com/ceres/public/page/index.php/works::schedule::synopses::php_gtk2">PHP|Works</a> in Toronot. Next, in October, Scott will be speaking at the <a href="http://www.zendcon.com/">Zend/PHP Conference</a>. Finally, in early November, Steph will talk about the new features of PHP-GTK 2 at the <a href="http://phpconference.com/konferenzen/psecom,id,482,track,7,nodeid,,_language,uk.html">International PHP Conference</a> and demonstrate how to make lightweight cross-platform applications.

<h1>Online Help</h1>
|
|
<p><span class="newsDate">[22-September-2006]</span>
|
|
While the development team works hard to finish the API (90% coverage is not far off), a new set of online tutorials has sprung up recently <a href="http://www.kksou.com/php-gtk2/index.php">kksou.com</a>. The tutorials are short and to the point. They cover those nagging issues that don't necessarily prevent you from completing your application, but add a great deal to the finished product.

<h1>Documentation Filling Out</h1>
|
|
<p><span class="newsDate">[10-August-2006]</span>
|
|
This week, the <a href="http://gtk.php.net/docs.php">PHP-Gtk2 documentation</a> broke the 44.44% barrier: nearly half of the classes and their methods, properties and signals are documented. PHP-GTK 2 consists of 202 classes with nearly 2,900 methods, and many signals and properties. As the documentation matures, PHP-GTK 2 becomes easier to work with as the answers to many common problems become easier to find.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We ask you to help us fill in the white spaces and create examples for others to learn from. Writing documentation not only helps the project, but also helps you learn through experimenting with new methods, and gain a better understanding of the inner workings of the project. Interested? The <a href="http://gtk.php.net/resources.php">doccing tutorial</a> explains the first steps, and the <a href="http://gtk.php.net/resources.php">php-gtk-doc mailing list</a> is the central place for all manual issues. All help creating examples and writing or translating documentation, is appreciated.

<h1>PHP-GTK 2 Alpha Re-release</h1>
|
|
<p><span class="newsDate">[17-July-2006]</span>
|
|
Apparently, PEAR infrastructure tools (due to a deficiency in PHP's <tt>version_compare()</tt>
|
|
function) cannot handle a version modifier called "zeta". We had to rename it to
|
|
good old "alpha", re-package and re-release. <a href="download.php">Download it</a> if you plan to use PEAR's
|
|
or <a href="http://gnope.org/">gnope.org</a>'s packages.</p>

<h1>PHP-GTK 2 Zeta Release</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p><span class="newsDate">[15-July-2006]</span>
|
|
After a long development cycle, PHP-GTK team is proud to announce the first
|
|
official preview release of
|
|
<a href="about.php">PHP-GTK 2</a>. Since everyone has been
|
|
patiently waiting for this
|
|
<a href="download.php">release</a> for quite a while, we have
|
|
decided to skip a few letters of the Greek alphabet and go straight to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeta_%28letter%29">zeta</a>,
|
|
which does not get nearly enough respect in the software world compared to its
|
|
brethren. So, without further ado, please welcome <a
|
|

<h1>PHP-GTK 2 Resources</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p><span class="newsDate">[18-May-2006]</span>
|
|
The number of PHP-GTK 2 resources has been climbing steadily as development
|
|
continues. As it stands now there are <a
|
|
href="http://pear.php.net/search.php?q=gtk2&in=packages&x=0&y=0">eight PHP-GTK
|
|
2 packages</a> available from <a href="http://pear.php.net">PEAR</a>.
|
|
The availability of the <a href="http://gtk.php.net/docs.php">PHP-GTK 2
|
|
documentation</a> provides an online resources for developers needing help with
|
|
the PHP-GTK 2 API. Included in the online documentation is a <a
|
|
href="http://gtk.php.net/manual/en/tutorials.helloglade.php">new tutorial on
|
|
using Glade with PHP-GTK 2</a>. In addition <a
|
|
href="http://gnope.org/">several</a> <a
|
|
href="http://www.writingup.com/blog/phpgtk2">websites</a> <a
|
|
href="http://www.crisscott.com/">devoted</a> to PHP-GTK 2 have cropped up
|
|
providing a wide range of resources. Finally, the first PHP-GTK 2 book, <a
|
|
href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1590596137/">Pro PHP-GTK</a>, has been
|
|
published. All of these resources should provide a strong launching point for
|
|
any developer wanting to get a head start working with the soon-to-be-released
|
|
alpha version of PHP-GTK 2.

<h1>Moving toward a release of PHP-GTK 2</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p><span class="newsDate">[28-Feb-2006]</span>
|
|
This month PHP-GTK 2 has continued its march toward an initial release. Andrei
|
|
has been working through bug fixes and
|
|
<a href="http://cvs.php.net/viewcvs.cgi/php-gtk/ChangeLog?view=markup">implementing new features</a>.
|
|
Recently he added the ability to use GtkListStores and GtkTreeStores as if
|
|
they were
|
|
<a href="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-gtk-general&m=114029530823343&w=2">iterators or arrays</a>.
|
|
This makes it much easier to work with data models for GtkTreeView and
|
|
GtkComboBox. The documentation team has been working hard to fill out the docs.
|
|
Several new pages have been added and the PHP-GTK 2 docs will soon make their
|
|
first appearance on the PHP-GTK website.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Even though PHP-GTK 2 is not quite stable yet, several applications have been
|
|
developed using the CVS version. There are now four PHP-GTK 2 packages
|
|
available on PEAR including the newly added
|
|
<a href="http://pear.php.net/package/Gtk2_ScrollingLabel">Gtk2_ScrollingLabel</a>
|
|
and <a href="http://pear.php.net/package/Gtk2_PHPConfig">Gtk2_PHPConfig</a>.
|
|
Christian Weiske has released the first game developed with PHP-GTK 2:
|
|
<a href="http://www.gnope.org/pearfront/index.php?package=Game_Minesweeper">Minesweeper</a>.

|
2 community also:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The PHP-GTK 2 documentation is filling out. More classes have been

<li>Source code highlighting has been added to the
|
|
<a href="http://php-gtk2.de/manual/en/html/">PHP-GTK 2 manual</a>.</li>
|

<li>Most of the get_size* methods have been implemented.</li>
|
|
<li><a href="http://xml.cweiske.de/classcoverage.htm">85% of all
|
|
methods and properties have been implemented</a>. The other 15% need to be
|
|
written by hand, and more are being added every week. (Some automatically
|
|
generated methods may not be implemented correctly and will have to be
|
|
re-written by hand. Therefore, the actual coverage figures may be slightly
|
|
lower than those above)</li>
|
|
<li>The <a href="http://www.gnope.org">Gnope installer</a> has been downloaded

over 8000 times since its release last month.</li>

<h1>Getting Ready for PHP-GTK 2</h1>
|

<p><span class="newsDate">[18-May-2005]</span>
|
|
PHP-GTK 2 is getting closer and closer to a first release every day. At the
|
|
<a href="http://www.phpconference.com/">International PHP Conference</a>, Andrei
|
|
gave a <a href="http://www.gravitonic.com/talks/">talk</a> about the current
|
|
status of PHP-GTK 2 and the direction it is heading. Since then, excellent
|
|
progress has been made with trees and editable cells. Parameter reflection has
|
|
also been added thanks to Christian. The lastest efforts have led to the first
|
|
set of practical applications written with PHP-GTK 2. Christian's
|
|
<a href="http://cweiske.de/phpgtk2_devinspector.htm">reflection browser</a> makes
|
|
it easy to take a look at the inner workings of PHP-GTK 2 classes and can be
|
|
used as simple documentation.

<h1>A Message from Andrei</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p><span class="newsDate">[22-Apr-2005]</span> I finished porting the first
|
|
demo from PyGTK, the stock item browser. It's in
|
|
<a href="http://cvs.php.net/co.php/php-gtk/demos/stock-browser.php">demos/stock-browser.php</a>
|
|
and in the process I've implemented a fair amount of new
|
|
GtkTreeView/GtkListStore functions. PHP-GTK 2 is coming along!
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Maybe a very early alpha release is due...

<h1>Expanding Horizons</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p><span class="newsDate">[18-Jan-2005]</span> PHP-GTK development is
|
|
growing in several directions. A recent <a
|
|
href="http://cvs.php.net/co.php/php-gtk/ChangeLog?r=1.259">barrage
|
|
of commits</a> by Andrei shows that PHP-GTK 2 is moving ever closer
|
|
towards a working release. At the same time, Ivan Rodriguez has been
|
|
helping to add some GtkExtra classes to the <a
|
|
href="http://gtk.php.net/download.php">CVS versions</a> of both PHP-GTK
|
|
1 and PHP-GTK 2.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Other PHP communities are contributing to PHP-GTK development in their
|
|
own way. PEAR has released another class, <a
|
|
href="http://pear.php.net/packages.php?catpid=34&catname=Gtk+Components">Gtk_Styled</a>,
|
|
to help PHP-GTK developers write cleaner, more stable code. The folks
|
|
over at Zend have recognized everyone who has contributed to PHP-GTK
|
|
development, documentation or the web site by adding them to the "<a
|
|
href="http://www.zend.com/pear/whoiswho.php">Zend Who's Who of PHP</a>".</p>
|
|
