I've been taking a look at Ruby Shoes for GUI development with Ruby. So far, it's been a pretty good experience for making simple apps. However, I am quite worried about being able to write large scale applications with it. For example, how would I go about using MVP pattern with this framework?For now, I have not been able to not make presentation concerns leak into the view because of the lack of some kind of data binding. I have code that looks like this :Shoes.app do    @view = SampleView.new    @presenter = SamplePresenter.new @view    @label = para @view.sample_property    button Update sample_property do        @presenter.update_sample_property    endendHere, the call to @presenter.update_sample_property updates @view.sample_property but the label is not updated accordingly.For this to work, I would have to make @presenter.update_sample_property to return a string, and then call @label.text = return_value, but I think that would violate the MVP principle of not having presentation logic in the view.I'm used to work in .Net with the MVP pattern so I don't know if the pattern applies correctly to Shoes like I tried to do.Are there any resources out there for making non-trivial apps with Shoes? Especially using the MVP pattern or something similar?EDIT : I took a look at the shoebox to see what other people have achieved with the framework. Though I did not look through it extensively, at first sight it seems like they are all simple projects with no real purposes.UPDATE : I've finally been able to come up with something that satisfies me. Oh, and by the way, I moved to green_shoes because it is all written in ruby and I can run it from the command line rather than from the Shoes application. Packaging is not an issue for me quite yet.
Ruby Shoes for non-trivial apps
ruby;gui;mvp
From the first page in the Shoes manual:Shoes is a tiny graphics toolkit. It's simple and straightforward. Shoes was born to be easy! Really, it was made for absolute beginners. There's really nothing to it.From this statement I would say that Shoes was not really designed with large-scale apps in mind.You may be able to implement an MVP or MVC pattern with help from the ruby observerable library.
