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
298 and use its source code to help you learn how to use wxPython. Most
299 of the classes available are demonstrated there, and you can view the
300 sources directly in the demo so it is designed to help you learn. If
301 you are on Windows or OS X then you can run the demo just by double
302 clicking it's icon. If you are on Linux/Unix then change to the
303 directory containing the demo and type:</p>
304 <blockquote>
305 python demo.py</blockquote>
306 <p>There are also some sample mini applications available for you to run
307 and to play with as a learning exercise.</p>
308 <p>The next thing you should do is join the wxPython-users maillist where
309 you can interact with a community of other users and developers who
310 are willing to help you learn, answer questions and solve problems.
311 To join the mail list just go to this web page and follow the
312 instructions 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
316 for wxPython, but currently it is geared for the C++ user. This may
317 be a little daunting at first, but with a little practice you'll
318 easily 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>
320 for a little help on this process.) Not all classes documented are
321 available in Python, but most of the GUI related classes are.</p>
