[Bassetlug mailing] Programming talk

[mj.wells at ischus.co.uk]

Thanks Danny for the talk on how to write simple programs using 
MonoDevelop. I found it to be most stimulating.

It is very useful to know that programs are so easy to write and that C# 
is very easy. I was impressed that we had a simple text editor up and 
running  during the talk in just a few lines of code.

I am sure that I will go on to write a few of those quick tools that can 
be so useful when we find something that an application does not provide.

Just thought, but how easy would it be to write a GUI wrapper around 
ImageMagick's command line tools? It looks like this would be a simple 
and very useful task.

Maybe a later talk could be for you to show us how to do some control; 
like flashing an LED or something? How about:

there are many other videos of this sort of thing in the list on the 
right and googling the words: LED cube - brings up more.

You may find this interesting:

Could that be the start of a project to build and control a robot?
