Sure

there's going to be a new post today...code will come here first for an advance copy

It is possible to update the TornadoFX Guide with such rich content?

yes. i should contribute more to the guide. my site has drifted from pure JavaFX -> a little TornadoFX -> everything TornadoFX

creatively though, i'm more inspired to go my own way and now have an intern contributing to that site

Can I also contribute what I learn/

?

even from you?😁

of course...if you want to add to the guide or correct it, it's just a github PR

adding sites and then cross-posting and using social media can help you build up a core of what you learned for others

Thank you very much

i was just discussing this with @Rob who is taking one of @edvin ' s examples and expanding it. I myself like to see many examples of the same thing w. slight variations to build up a strong case understanding...helps me internalize what I'm learning

To contribute to the code do I need to master JavaFx and Kotlin?

absolutely not. there's an audience for all content. your audience might be you a week ago, before you worked through an example and adapted it to your needs

wow

you could write a 3/4 page post on the 6th parameter of some random type safe builder and people who cared about that builder would read it

Is this where I should send the PR for the guide https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx-guide?

yes. especially if you find an error! the guide sometimes lags the releases

I think I could write first on how to use db alongside TornadoFX

I am currently using JetBrain/Exposed with TornandoFX

The Guide should be general though, focusing more on pure TornadoFX than external APIs. It might be best to start with a blog post where you could drag in a lot of JDBC for example.

an explanation of fail{} like was discussed earlier would be good (for the Guide). opening / closing PreparedStatement not as much (but would be an excellent blog post)

Thank very much. Once I implement fail{} I will drop a PR. Thanks again @carlw

@carlw I will also go through https://courses.bekwam.net/~walkerro/bkcourse_tornadofx_style_tableview.html to learn more. thank you for sharing

no problem @Boyong. if you end up writing articles, be sure to link them here. I have some followers and tweet out programming topics especially those involving tornadofx

@edvin Working on a Mac this morning to verify #778

@edvin I verified the error messages the user reported in #778 but my app didn’t crash. I tested it through the IDE and from a runnable JAR.

@edvin It turns out that #778 is a JavaFX issue. The plain JavaFX / TornadoFX comparison that the author referenced wasn’t quite the same. I posted a rewrite of TornadoFX that didn’t throw the error and a JavaFX version that did. The ticket can be pushed onto JavaFX and closed IMO

@carlw Great work, Carl! I was pretty sure it was something like this, but not easy to confirm pool side here in Greece 😎

enjoy! it’s not critical anyway
