     Welcome to the Listings and Examples for

      "The Official Marimba Guide to Bongo"

                by Danny Goodman


You will find a directory/folder for every chapter
that has example listings. Except for the longer Java
code samples in the later chapters, the listings are
inside Bongo presentations for each chapter. I strongly
recommend that you open each chapter's presentation
as you read that chapter. 

Each listing is on its own folder page (sometimes two
listings are combined on a single page when they're
related). All listings are keyed to folder tabs
according to the following legend:

  L = Listing number
  F = Figure number

Many code listings are actually deployed in the
presentations as working examples. To try the widgets,
switch to Browse mode, and have a blast. To view or edit
the code that is attached to the widgets in the
presentation, switch to Edit mode, and use the Bongo 
script editor.

When a listing consists of a template for your own
code, the listing is shown in a non-editable field.
You can still select the text in that field, copy it
to the Clipboard, and paste it into your own scripts.

In Chapters 16, 17, and many later chapters, you will
find complete applications, including the presentation,
image, and (when necessary) Java source and class files.
You should not only study these examples (along with
their descriptions in the book), but also try to publish
them to your localhost Castanet Transmitter, as
described in Chapter 18.

If you encounter any difficulties with these example
presentations, check the book's Support Center at my
Web site (http://www.dannyg.com) for updates that may
have been posted since the book and CD went to press.
Please report any new problems you encounter via the
on-line Support Center.
