Your quite welcome for the input.  If you have any questions about how
Widgets work, and so on, feel free to ask, as one of us devs, or another
user on the Mailing List, will be more then happy to help you out with it.
Examples is the best way to learn how things work within wxRuby, as it is
pretty much as it's shown there.  It does take some time to learn, but don't
get discouraged so easily.  As Tim has pointed out, other toolkits are hard
to work with, and some are not even fully cross-platform, or are a headache
to deploy in any case.
Another nice thing that you will have with wxRuby, compared with other
Toolkits, is the users, we have a Chat room #wxruby on irc.freenode.net, we
have the Mailing List, and we consider ourselvs a very helpful bunch, even
to those who are new not to just wxRuby, but new to Ruby itself to.  Not
very many other Toolkits can say the same.

Good luck with your learning experince, and again, ask any questions you may
have, and feel free to look through our Mailing List Archives, there's quite
a bit of information that has been discussed in the past over the mailing
list, that can be easily looked through.

L8ers,
