Incomplete Documentation and examples

OK, is it lazyness?

Lack of knowledge?

A cruel streak?

I am finding lately that developers and those who
write tutorials, example code and books, do a very
poor job of complete examples.

Why?

For example: I am working on a project in which
I am trying to use GtkIconFactory, not bad in and
of itself, but the sample code I have seen takes
you to the point where you can get the menubar
visible, but no one (and I mean NO ONE) who
writes example code either on the net, or in books,
shows you how to actually take it to the next step
and make those really pretty buttons you just
created actually do something, at least without
segfaulting....

Bah

Wow - 8 Months

8 months since my last post - busy times.
Got a few things planned and up my sleeve.
---

1) Got a small programming project going on
2) Got a complex software installation happening - which I want
    to make a how-to for, as none of the how-to's for this package
    are terribly complete.

Stay tuned. ;)

About Me

My photo
I am an old(er) computer geek, wrote my first program on punch cards. The profile picture is VERY OLD but since I am usually behind the camera, there are very few snaps of me I like. This is one before..... fat. In fact, it's about 15 years old. I am also a former Missionary.
