57wxWidgets: The API for programmers who aren't sheep.

60Better printed on a shirt:
61
62"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion,
63 butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet,
64 balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying,
65 take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations,
66 analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a
67 tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
68 Specialization is for insects."
69 [Robert A. Heinlein]
70
71maybe stripped down to
72
73"Specialization is for insects."

75============================
76The Open-Source, Cross-Platform GUI Framework
77 with Ten Years of Evolution Behind It

79I saw this changed to 'native UI' on the website, which is slightly more
80accurate but sounds less 'catchy' imho.
81
82.. and templates.
83
84Hmm. I might buy a mug that had, say, a wxLogo and "wxWidgets" (and
85maybe the website URL underneath in smaller type) on one side and
86"Specialization is for insects ... and templates" on the other.
87
88.. only if it held at leat a full half (imperial) pint, mind. Not
89one of those wussy 8.5 fl.oz. jobbies.
90
91That'd be a nice ice-breaker when working at a new client's site -
92people would be bound to stop and ask what it was all about!
93
94.. and how about a nice silk tie (US: necktie) with the logo on ...
95Oh, I forgot, we programmers don't wear ties.
96
97============================
98"I can't believe it's not native"
99
100============================
101"Because friends don't let friends use Win32".
102
103(or MFC)

127 and get THE API
128
129 C++, Python, Basic, Lua ...
130
131At back
132
133 <windows> OR <linux> OR <mac> ?
134 <wxWidgets> is

152How about "and in the linker bind them"? That's where the local libraries
153get bound to the wxWidgets code anyway.

165Nice idea. But I wonder where you'll find some volunteer willing to
166have his face tattooed with win32 common controls ;-)
