Please write a good tutorial for egui !!!!!

[maratreason]

Please write a good tutorial that will teach how to use this great library step by step. The creators of GTK have done this (https://gtk-rs.org/gtk4-rs/stable/latest/book/introduction.html). This is why many people choose GTK, because they have a great online book. Your library is amazing and inspiring, but it can be quite difficult to use without good tutorial.
It's amazing that so much effort has been put into creating egui.rs, but there's no tutorial that would organize and teach you how to use and customize the components.
I'm sure that once the textbook is released, the library's popularity will skyrocket.

ok, will do a PR next week

I agree with @maratreason -- this is desperately needed. It needs some leadership input, someone at the top to sort out a URL and package, and the community to help write and review and contribute code. egui is amazing but is a steep mountain to climb.

I think the easiest way is to clone and play with https://github.com/emilk/eframe_template

From the eframe_template README

The official egui docs are at https://docs.rs/egui. If you prefer watching a video introduction, check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtUkr_z7l84. For inspiration, check out the the egui web demo and follow the links in it to its source code.

@Its-Just-Nans So a manual is less useful than playing with eframe_template? This goes against my experience. Even a repository of documented code snippets would be helpful.

So a manual is less useful

Have you read https://docs.rs/egui/latest/egui/#using-egui ?
It's quite similar to a manual and well written

[White-Rabbit-Scientific]

@Its-Just-Nans Yeah, I use it every day. It's helpful but it's not a manual. I wish it had a lot more example code.

This is not serious. I once decided to try to create a table, found a code example on github in examples, and was horrified by how it was done. After all, examples should be simple and clear, it is not necessary to shine with code quality and spread the code into different files. All this only complicates the study. That's why a tutorial is needed. How to make custom components for your tasks, how to create custom events. All this is very important. It often happens that standard components are not enough. In general, I really hope, and I'm not the only one, that the developers of this excellent tool will write a tutorial.

The information on doc.rs/egui are just the first steps to understand and use egui. When you want a source example you can go to egui.rs and find a real world example with the link to the source code.

There is also examples for custom widgets !
