Is this a group for asking for help and how-tos?

I'm really wondering as I wasn't able to find any tutorials about FLTK, can I ask questions
and ask about how to do some stuff? So yeah, can and should I do that here or should I find another place?

    This is the place to ask, but first download fltk-1.4.x and see the examples/ directory
    for lots of examples on how to use, and there's some old but still useful video tutorials here:
    http://seriss.com/people/erco/fltk-videos/

    In particular start with the "A Beginners Guide To Programming In FLTK",
    and "An Introduction To Using Fluid".

    There's also a "cheat sheet" page with a bunch of small, one page programs
    that demonstrate various things here:

There's also a link to Greg's videos on the fltk website...

https://www.fltk.org/articles.php?L384

And there's Robark's videos http://arkiletian.com/fltk-tutorial/ though that seems to be an old link, I was sure there was something more recent... anyway...

Thanks a lot everyone! It's really great that there is so much support from the community! I will make sure to properly read and understand everything before I ask for help! I wish you all to have an amazing day!

If you're interested in using fltk in a memory safe language, you might also check out the rust bindings. The maintainer also has a bunch of wonderful examples and video tutorials on using these rust bindings.
