SLUG / GNHLUG Durham - Mon 14 Apr - Enlightenment Foundation Libraries

[Ben Scott]

Who  : Rob Anderson
What : Enlightenment Foundation Libraries
Date : Mon 14 Apr 2008
Time : 7 PM to 9 PM
Where: Room 301, Morse Hall, UNH, Durham, NH

== Enlightenment ==

The Enlightenment Window Manager was big in the late 90's. They're not
dead yet. What used to be the Enlightenment Window Manager (or just E)
has now turned into a whole suite of tools that hopefully make writing
the window manager easier and give us some new graphically flashy
tools.

This talk will attempt to show a simple Python program with an EVAS
canvas front end. Rob will also explain the components of
Enlightenment as they exist now. Just to see why you need the
component guide let me state that EVAS is just the canvas for EFL, and
used by the DR17 window manager. Confused? Stop by next month and
we'll see if we can't make some sense of all that.

The most promising use of these tools in on small devices like phones
and PDAs. It should work on desktop systems as well, but there are
lots of options in that environment that can perform well enough. The
EVAS code should work well on weak machines, especially if all their
apps use it.
