Chapter 2. Getting Started

In this chapter, we'll get a feel for the structure of a simple wxWidgets program, using a tiny sample. We'll look at where and how a wxWidgets application starts and ends, how to show the main window, and how to react to commands from the user. Following the wxWidgets philosophy of keeping things nice and simple, that's all we're going to cover in this chapter. You may also want to refer to Appendix A, "Installing wxWidgets."
