296<p>Welcome to the wonderful world of wxPython!</p>
297<p>So where do you go from here? The best thing to do is to run the demo
298and use its source code to help you learn how to use wxPython. Most
299of the classes available are demonstrated there, and you can view the
300sources directly in the demo so it is designed to help you learn. If
301you are on Windows or OS X then you can run the demo just by double
302clicking it's icon. If you are on Linux/Unix then change to the
303directory containing the demo and type:</p>
304<blockquote>
305python demo.py</blockquote>
306<p>There are also some sample mini applications available for you to run
307and to play with as a learning exercise.</p>
308<p>The next thing you should do is join the wxPython-users maillist where
309you can interact with a community of other users and developers who
310are willing to help you learn, answer questions and solve problems.
311To join the mail list just go to this web page and follow the
312instructions there:</p>
313<blockquote>
314<a class="reference" href="http://wxpython.org/maillist.php">http://wxpython.org/maillist.php</a></blockquote>
315<p>There is also a good set of class reference documentation available
316for wxPython, but currently it is geared for the C++ user. This may
317be a little daunting at first, but with a little practice you'll
318easily be able to &quot;mentally translate&quot; from the C++ shown into Python.
319(See <a class="reference" href="http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/C_2b_2bGuideForwxPythoneers">http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/C_2b_2bGuideForwxPythoneers</a>
320for a little help on this process.) Not all classes documented are
321available in Python, but most of the GUI related classes are.</p>
