Dabo has an ever growing collection of demos. Demonstration code is as useful as tutorials or other documentation at teaching users of the framework how to code their applications. Demos provide examples that developers can use to better understand how the framework works. The collection of demos is actually quite extensive. Here are some of the different types of Demos available:
- Simple Demos> - These demos illustrate simple codding concepts. The simpleDemo and SimpleForm? demos provide the user with insight on how to code GUIs? in Dabo. The illustrate simple things like properties, absolute placement, data binding, and events.
- Games - Currently, we have 3 games. Montana is a card game, Bubblet is a simple strategy game, and Minesweeper is a clone of the Windows game. These demos were written to show that Dabo can be used for a wide variety of applications. We definitely invite you to take a look at the code for these demos, as it may provide insight into using more advanced features.
- DaboDemo - This is turning into one of the main dabo demo applications. DaboDemo is designed to show developers how to use specific widgets. The developer can select the widget that they want to see and that demo will be displayed on the screen. Additionally, the can view and modify to code to see how changes affect the output. One of the more powerful demo applications, this is something that is really worth a look.
- DataTypeDemos - This set of examples shows how basic datatypes can be edited with Dabo's data controls.
