This month we're getting into some code! Robert Arkiletian, winner of the 2009 VanLUG Dave Michelson Award will introduce us to the Fast Light Tool Kit (FLTK) and the python binding for it, pyFLTK.
About FLTK
FLTK (pronounced "fulltick") is a cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit for UNIX®/Linux® (X11), Microsoft® Windows®, and MacOS® X. FLTK provides modern GUI functionality without the bloat and supports 3D graphics via OpenGL® and its built-in GLUT emulation.
FLTK is designed to be small and modular enough to be statically linked, but works fine as a shared library. FLTK also includes an excellent UI builder called FLUID that can be used to create applications in minutes.
