= Intro =
== What is Quickly? ==
 * https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Quickly
 * Application templating system
 * Boiler plate
 * Commands
 * Integration with infrastructure
 * Opinionated choices
 * shell completion
 * Easy and fun

== Quickly in Karmic ==
 * 0.2.5
 * First iteration of quickly and ubuntu-project template
 * Only one template
 * PPA support is there, but a bit brittle
 * $quickly tutorial up to date

== Quickly in Lucid ==
 * 0.4.0
 * Second iteration with 2 or 3 templates
 * ubuntu-application, ubuntu-cli, maybe ubuntu-arcade
 * $quickly tutorial not up to date yet

== Installing Quickly ==
 * $sudo apt-get install quickly
 * Lots of dependencies, so a slightly large download
 * Sets up lots of useful tools

= Creating your app =
 * 0.2.5: quickly create ubuntu-project appname
 * 0.4:  * quickly create ubuntu-application appname
 * Creates a working application

== naming ==
 * In 0.2.5/karmic, only support for one work names
 * In 0.4.0/Lucid, support for multi-work names

= Editing the UI =
 * Code files and glade files linked by naming
 * automatially hooked up for you

== Glade Command ==
 * within project directory
 * 0.2.5 $quickly glade
 * 0.4.0 $quickly design (support non-gnome templates)
 * Must use this command, project won't work otherwise

== Glade Tips and Tricks ==
 * Fill tool-like interacton
 * Selecting in the inspector
 * layout via boxes, VBoxes and HBoxes
 * Changing position in a Box
 * pack_start, pack_end
 * Fill and expand control sizing, auto layout on window resizing
 * Border and padding control spacing 
 * Use stock items when possible
 * add dialogs with the "dialog" command
  * 0.2.5: $quickly dialog dialogname 
  * .4: $quickly add dialog dialogname
  * import the dialog
  * use New*Dialog()
d = New*Dialog()
response = d.run()
if response == gtk.RESPONSE_OK:
 #do your stuff

== Signals ==
 * In glade on signal tab
 * for buttons, use both clicked and activated
 * for menus, just activated
 * writing signal handlers
def handlername(self, widget, data=None):
    #do your stuff
    #widget is the sender

= Writing Code =
 * finish_inishializing versus __init__()

= Debugging and Testing =
== print statements ==
 * most common and easiest
 * leaves print statements in code, need to be deleted

== Logging ==
 * won't cause debug output to be printed in normal run
 * a bit broken at the moment

== debugger ==
 * pdb is a command line debugger, works well, but is a bit hard to use
 * there are graphical debuggers built into some IDEs

= Packaging =
 * For sharing apps via email, or dropping a file somewhere
 * quite forgiving

== setting up your app for packaging ==
 * add your name and email to the copyright file
 * issue license command
 * Edit *.desktop.in to define category
 * add author, email, description, long description to setup.py
 * $quickly package

== Creating a deb ==
 * $quickly package
 * try it out

= PPAs =
 * a bit less forgiving than package
 * create ssh keys as per launchpad instructions (will need for release)
 * create pgp keys as per launchpad instructions
  * Don't use a comment!
  * set DEBEMAIL and DEBFULLNAME in .bashrc, the same as what was in your gpg key
  * match gpg --list-secret-keys
export DEBEMAIL=rick.spencer@canonical.com
export DEBFULLNAME=Rick Spencer

 * Create a PPA
  * for 0.2.5 call it only "ppa", nothing else will work
  * 0.4.0 will allow you to choose a ppa 
 * To release, you need to create a project in launchpad
 * $quickly share - puts latest in your ppa
 * $quickly release - does the same but also increments version and makes an announcement
