4 | Welcome to the wonderful world of wxPython! |

6 | So where do you go from here? The best thing to do is to run the demo |
| 7 | and use its source code to help you learn how to use wxPython. Most | |
| 8 | of the classes available are demonstrated there, and you can view the | |
| 9 | sources directly in the demo so it is designed to help you learn. If | |
| 10 | you are on Windows or OS X then you can run the demo just by double | |
| 11 | clicking it's icon. If you are on Linux/Unix then change to the | |
| 12 | directory containing the demo and type: | |
| c127177f RD |
13 | |
| 14 | python demo.py | |
| 15 | ||

16 | There are also some sample mini applications available for you to run |
| 17 | and to play with as a learning exercise. | |

19 | The next thing you should do is join the wxPython-users maillist where |
| 20 | you can interact with a community of other users and developers who | |
| 21 | are willing to help you learn, answer questions and solve problems. | |

| 23 | instructions there: | |

27 | There is also a good set of class reference documentation available |
| 28 | for wxPython, but currently it is geared for the C++ user. This may | |
| 29 | be a little daunting at first, but with a little practice you'll | |
| 8b9a4190 RD |
30 | easily be able to "mentally translate" from the C++ shown into Python. |
| 31 | (See http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/C_2b_2bGuideForwxPythoneers | |
| 32 | for a little help on this process.) Not all classes documented are | |
| 33 | available in Python, but most of the GUI related classes are. | |
