Awesome news! I would love to see a tutorial that uses data binding against a sqlite db. Thanks!

sqlite db is not a GUI concept perse, so it is outside the scope of the Glimmer DSL for SWT Video Tutorial Series. But, your feedback is noted. I can still do a step-by-step blog post tutorial of using sqlite db with Glimmer DSL for SWT instead.

That said, I have blogged about the use of sqlite db with Glimmer DSL for SWT before:

https://andymaleh.blogspot.com/2020/07/glimmer-dsl-for-swt-021-jruby-92120.html

Check out the open-source project Are We There Yet? (a small-scale-project-management app) on GitHub for more details:

I'll notify you in a comment here once I write a blog post tutorial on using sqlite db with Glimmer DSL for SWT.

Cheers!

Done!

I added a blog post tutorial of using sqlite db via ActiveRecord in a Glimmer DSL for SWT JRuby desktop app:

Cheers!
