[openbeos] Re: How can we recruit more programmers ?

Michael Phipps suggested the same to me at the end of my last semester.  
I've taken 2 college level C++ courses and am now writing the 
coursewares for C# to be taught next year - but still am very vague 
about coding GUI apps in C++.

i have a lot to learn.  perhaps learning from others on the Pref Team 
is best - i'd still like to document the progress and piece together 
this tutorial as well.

i'll dive into that forum this week!  thanks Phil
