[Gllug] yesterday's meeting

[fendersan at aol.com]

Hello,

I really enjoyed yesterday's meeting. The talks were a bit too advanced 
for me but I picked up on a few invaluable tips. A big thank you to the 
speakers and the organisers. Gllug's sharing spirit is something I 
value greatly.

I wrote a basic C++ GUI app last year that had to run on Linux, Windows 
and Mac OS X. I thought learning GTK or Qt was a bit overkill and ended 
up using the Fast Light Toolkit (FLTK) for the job. If anyone's 
interested the site is http://www.fltk.org/, the manual is at 
http://www.fltk.org/doc-2.0/html/ and there are some video tutorials at 
http://seriss.com/people/erco/fltk-videos/

Someone was asking about educational material to get kids interested in 
computing careers. I've digged around for some links and found Alice 
http://www.alice.org which seems to teach programming concepts in a 
visual manner. Also there was a thread about Logo programming:
