As an occasional U++ user, I think that it is a great cross platform RAD tool and only lacks two things:

- a good book (especially for beginners in C++).
There are many subtle places in advanced programs which are unclear and having a book, describing these technics would greatly help.

- a comprehensive help system.
As for now, there are many useful classes and functions in U++, that are not even mentioned in help and can be found only accidentally. For example: ImagePainter, BufferPainter, FileSelNative, PaintInfo, msecs(), usecs(), Random().

I understand that writing help is a boring work, but it could increase the popularity of U++.

Best regards,
Victor


I agree. But one thing to add is that all these things should be 'outward'. So far I am in endless cycle of improving U++, adding more docs, help etc, but problem is that all that happens in our repo and nobody know. I am sorry but somewhat I lack the energy to make things more public...

I still believe that the best chance is to carefully disseminate articles in places that (still) allow it, like CodeProject. If I would be able to write more than single article a year, things would probably be better Smile
