1. Demos: Preferences?
Hello there,
Im creating and modding some demos and i was wondering what the
preference for various demos was: short demos that do a specific
thing, or larger demos with lots of stuff with each thing labeled?
Feel free to email or respond here.
Take care,
Al
And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!

I vote "Short demos for specific thing."

Both.
Because, for example, i got questions like "why would you do that?" with
every lib i submitted! So like in strtok-v2-1.html, i have several one-line
examples, and at the bottom i an example or two on how i have used strtok
in everyday code. Same with the eu-mirc code, "why would you want to run
Euphoria behind mirc?", because mirc is recognised by all the ircd
connection tests and it's a very stable interface between Eu and irc (and you
can http, email, etc with mirc!). If you needed a fast database in your irc
code, mirc wasn't the language to write it in because it's too slow, but
connecting Eu to it made it come to life. Plus, you could shut down the Eu
and leave the mirc connected while you recoded the Eu, saving on irc server
connection floods.

I find smaller demos more useful. It would also be nice to have one or
two full-blown demos, with all the bells and whistles, all the i's
dotted and all the t's crossed, to show what it really takes to create
a complete application, but I'd trade ten 35-line demos for one
800-line any day. A launcher/source code browser with suitable
descriptions (eg Listview with custom colours and fonts) is obviously
much better than a directory with ex01, ex02, etc.

Pete

Hello Don, Pete, ck, and Kat,
Ok i guess some people like small demos and others large and
still others both :)
Don:
Im working on demos for my new WinClass lib v1.005 .
There are a lot more classes now so it's taking a bit more
time to do. The original test program was my calculator,
which is kinda big for a demo.
Take care,
Al
And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!

I think short, if you want the user to view the source
and understand it. You could tie them into a menu.
