Description
Gio is a FOSS cross-platform GUI toolkit in the Go programming language. This talk will explore both Gio's high-level widget API for building applications with existing widgets and the low-level interactive graphics language used to build widgets.
Participants will learn to create a simple application UI exercising:
- constraints and dimensions,
- layout primitives for creating rows, columns, stacks, and lists,
- widgets such as buttons, labels, and text editors,
- reactive data techniques to keep the UI data evergreen,
- and custom widgets built with Gio's low-level graphics language API.
Participants should come away with the skills to implement applications with custom widgets in Gio.
Familiarity with the Go programming language is recommended.
