Welcome to Amigaworld.net!

The people at http://amigadev.amigaworld.net should be able to assist you with any questions you have. I myself am completely new to C programming, so am still learning the basics.

Also try having a look at http://utilitybase.com - lots of developers hang out there.

There are also a couple of tutorials on OS4 Depot (os4depot.net) - search for Reaction.
Even more here: http://www.aminet.net/search.php?query=reaction

Hi and welcome here!

It's nice to see new developpers faces here

By the way, are you one of the students working on the Amizilla project?

@balis

actually i am! just trying to get moving with the project! :)

@excesdj

to AW.net .

As somebody already pointed out http://utilitybase.com is a good forum to ask development related questions.

Also NDK 3.9 contains a few ReAction example sources, which will probably need some adaption for OS4 but may still be of some help, as well as ReActor, which could be used to quickly test out ReAction GUI designs/tag settings before actually implementing them in C code...

Hey, it's been a while since I've been on AW.net!

Thanks to all for the various links to Reaction stuff. I've had a look at everything that was suggested here, but I can't find what I really need - a simple introduction to Reaction, something like the liquido2 tutorial.

I'm sure that it's actually really very simple once you know how, but the problem is I don't know how. I now have a pretty good understanding of basic Intuition coding, and now it feels quite intuitive. However, I can't make head nor tail of the Reaction examples I've found. This is mainly because the examples given are all either medium to advanced level examples.

Even a simple example which explains step by step how to open a basic window which does nothing useful would be better. I wonder, could somebody perhaps translate the liquido2 tutorial (which I thought was superb btw) into Reaction?

Any help would be much appreciated, as at the moment I am well on my way to failing my degree!

@excesdj

try out xml2reaction and create code for a window with just one button. it runs with some bugs but kinda works on UAE/MOS/AmigaOS3 (os4 comming soon)

Reaction is nothing more than a set of Boopsi classes. So to understand the underlying of Reaction you should first understand the concept of Boopsi which is part of Intuition and for which a presentation guide exist in the Rom Kernel Manual (which is not available anymore except on ebay (beware many revisions and only the last one usefull here) or on the DevCD 2.1).
If really you can't have access to this ressource email me maybe I can help...

Thank you to all devs involved for this great job !

There are a lot of simple "window with a button" examples on UtilityBase, they were ported from ClassAct (which is what Reaction evolved from).
