Platform overview: the 'Get started' tutorial should be merged in the Platform Demos
Last modified: 2015-02-13 12:38:09 UTC
The platform overview should only explain the available libraries. Having a programming tutorial there is strange. The "GNOME Platform Demos" is a better place in my opinion, especially since we can choose the programming language: https://developer.gnome.org/gnome-devel-demos/unstable/ If someone is looking for a programming tutorial to get started, what to choose? - https://developer.gnome.org/gnome-devel-demos/unstable/ - https://developer.gnome.org/platform-overview/stable/tour.html.en Having different places to get started is confusing.
I do not think that the platform demos are a better place for the "Get Started" example from the platform overview, so I do not agree that it should be merged there.
Can you explain a little bit more the rationale? I've given some good reasons I think.
Note that on: https://developer.gnome.org/ We can read: > GNOME Platform Demos > Introductory tutorials to help you get started. So to get started, the obvious place is there.
The platform demos are poorly, so will not be around much longer, as they are growing increasingly outdated. The get started example is a single, self-contained example to introduce the platform, not an in-depth coverage of the whole GTK+ widget hierarchy.
Ok, I now better understand.
