Until I figure out how to white-list your account you can just PM me when you upload more so I can activate them right away.... I'll let you know if I figure out how to do that. Show more

Hey all,
I'm located in the upper Northwest of the US in Washington state.  I started playing with BEOS in early 94?  So many years.  I'm now using Haiku whenever I have time.  It works great on an old HP Z420 workstation.  I'm usually on BeAIM as SlimLefty.

E-books on computer languages relevant to Haiku
These .hpkg files will create a new top-level menu item in the Deskbar, called Documentation. 

Start by installing devdocs_main. It will give you enough to get started with and will give you easy access to the documentation of your installed packages, their manfiles, and the BeOS/Haiku API documentation. It also includes a few e-books, enough to get you started, whether you are developing in bash, yab, python, perl or C/C++. 

Once you have settled on your favourite language, you can install one of the more specialized packages. These will provide you with a LOT more e-books.

What you will need: The e-books are mostly in PDF format, but some are in HTML. You will need a browser (WebPositive is fine) and you will have to have a  PDF reader of some kind (BePDF is fine, but there are others). The e-books will open in your default web browser or PDF program.

System sounds for Haiku

These sound files mostly come from a competition held many years ago on the Haiku forum. One of them was declared the winner and will be included in R1, whenever that happens ... Until then, you can use these.

It does now use the Layout Kit, which features dynamic positioning and sizing, rather than hardcoded coordinates. That's the groundwork for HiDPI support, which is also supported with this release, You can download the packages from codeberg.org/nikisoft/BeAIM/releases/tag/1.7.0 or build your own by cloning the repository and running "make package". Have fun! Show more

The transition of BeAIM to Layout Kit and full support for HiDPI screens is now complete! Expect a new release very soon.

Seems to be rather new and doesn't have content yet,but it's a great addition to the site.Only a few days ago I was thinking about the fact that I have to answer the same questions over and over again in the forum,and that it would be good to collect that information at a central place and simply put a link to it.I'll try to fill the Wiki with content when I see questions about common topics again.Oh,and I could probably document some stuff about programming that isn't that clear and understandable in the current Haiku Book and BeBook.
