[Gambas-user] GUI prototyping

[Michael Sullivan]

I come from VB 6.0 background, but I like it that I can run my
application to make sure everything looks right in the interface before
I actually add custom functionality to it.  If you create a GUI form
then there's already code in the project to produce that form, even if
you can't see it....
