How To Create and Edit A Fruit Basket Demo Application Page

Purpose.

The purpose of a Fruit Basket Demo Page is to demonstrate how to program a small GUI application in a programming language or technology paradime. Secondarily, it is meant to demonstrate to someone either new to programming, or to programming in the language or technology the fruit basket application uses, what it might be like to work with the language or technology.

What's In A Fruit Basket Application?

User Interface.

The user interface contains the following controls.

• An edit box. This is used to input the name of a piece of fruit, such as apple.
• A listbox to hold the pieces of fruit. This is the fruit basket.
• Two buttons. one to add, and the other to delete pieces of fruit from the basket.

Data

A Fruit Basket Demo application also demonstrates some way to move data into and out of the fruit basket.

How To Create A Fruit Basket Demo Page

• After you've logged onto the Fruit Basket Demo site, Scroll down to the bottom of the page.
• The second link from the bottom reads "Create Content." Activate that link.
• When the Create Content page appears, look for the first header on the page.
• Below that, you will find links that allow you to create two types of content, a Page, or a Story. To create a Fruit Basket Demo page, pick Story. This is because we've added a Categories field to put your demo into.
• Fill out the Title, Categories, and Body fields.
• Suggestion. If you can, you may want to include as part of the Body field in your demo page a little something about the technology or language, such as links to further information about it. That might help the student who is interested in learning the language or technology decide whether or not to learn it.
• Click the File Attachments link and Attach an archive that contains the actual application files someone would need to run your application. Include the necessary instructions and source code, and, possibly, some sample data.
