Boa Constructor - Build Text Editor


I have almost finished writing an eBook titled Boa Constructor - Build Text Editor.

The book has over 100 screen-shot pictures and 55 pages of very easy to follow and understand instructions. Taking you through the steps of building a text editor similar to window notepad.

As far as I know, there are no ebooks on the internet explaining how to use Boa Constructor Editor, Palette and Inspector.


After spending four years searching the internet:
  • how to use wxpython widgets
  • filtering vague encrypted comments on how to use Boa Constructor
  • experimenting trial and error with various python and wxpython coding methods

I finally wrote an eBook about Boa Constructor. The ebook is called Boa Constructor, Build A Text Editor.

55 page eBook with over 100 pictures teaching you how to create a text editor using Boa Constructor.

Written by Daryl Williams (December 2014)

Easy to understand with loads of screen-shots to help you visually learn on the way.
