New Visage SDK User Guide

[Carl Dea]

Steve,

Is there a document stating simple steps to install the Visage SDK and
setting the classpath to compile source on the command prompt and
executing hello world programs?

I currently have Java 7.0, JavaFX 2.0 installed along with NetBeans
7.1

Any plans to make a REPL for Visage?


Thanks!
Carl

If I remember correctly, there was a REPL build into JavaFX Script.

See

http://per.bothner.com/blog/2009/REPL-for-JavaFX/

and

for more information.

Weiqi,

Thank you. I'm tech reviewing the chapter on Visage in your book and
thought it would be so easy to cut and paste examples into the REPL to
test them. I think Steve has modified and is the owner of the chapter
(Appendix) on Visage. I love it, so far. Very powerful language
features.

I'm in the middle of installing JavaFX 1.3 and replacing the visage
jar to compile and run things. Because I have Java 7 and JavaFX 2.0 I
hope things don't get messed up.

I would love to hear from others on their install experiences.

Thanks!

Carl
