wyoGuide
wyoGuide is a tutorial, a collection of guidelines for building cross-platform applications with a well-designed, consistent look and feel. It gives ideas and advice on how an application and its GUI could and should be written. Development with these guidelines gives the GUI of an application a standard set of base functionality. wyoGuide also provides sample code for each guideline written in C++ using the wxWidgets (formerly wxWindows) framework. For a seasoned developer it shouldn't be difficult to adapt these guidelines to other languages or frameworks.

Changes: wyoGuide has changed its name from wxGuide. This name change signals that wyoGuide uses but does not depend on the wxWidgets framework. The name change also stresses the fact that wyo (Otto Wyss) is responsible for these guidelines. This change includes many small text corrections.
