## Glimmer DSL for SWT (JRuby Desktop Development GUI Library)
[Glimmer DSL for SWT](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt) is a native-GUI cross-platform desktop development library written in [JRuby](https://www.jruby.org/), an OS-threaded faster version of [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/). [Glimmer](https://rubygems.org/gems/glimmer)'s main innovation is a declarative [Ruby DSL](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt#glimmer-dsl-syntax) that enables productive and efficient authoring of desktop application user-interfaces while relying on the robust [Eclipse SWT library](https://www.eclipse.org/swt/). [Glimmer DSL for SWT](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt) additionally innovates by having built-in [data-binding](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt#data-binding) support, which greatly facilitates synchronizing the GUI with domain models, thus achieving true decoupling of object oriented components and enabling developers to solve business problems (test-first) without worrying about GUI concerns. To get started quickly, [Glimmer DSL for SWT](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt) offers [scaffolding](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt#scaffolding) options for [Apps](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt#in-production), [Gems](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt#custom-shell-gem), and [Custom Widgets](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt#custom-widgets). [Glimmer DSL for SWT](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt) also includes native-executable [packaging](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt#packaging--distribution) support, sorely lacking in other libraries, thus enabling the delivery of desktop apps written in [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/) as truly native DMG/PKG/APP files on the [Mac](https://www.apple.com/ca/macos) + [App Store](https://developer.apple.com/macos/distribution/) and MSI/EXE files on [Windows](https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows).
+To get started, visit the [Glimmer DSL for SWT project page](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt#pre-requisites) for instructions on installing the [glimmer-dsl-swt gem](https://rubygems.org/gems/glimmer-dsl-swt).

[Glimmer DSL for Opal](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-opal) is an experimental proof-of-concept web GUI adapter for [Glimmer](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer) desktop apps (i.e. apps built with [Glimmer DSL for SWT](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt)). It webifies them via [Rails](https://rubyonrails.org/), allowing Ruby desktop apps to run on the web via [Opal Ruby](https://opalrb.com/) without changing a line of code. Apps may then be custom-styled for the web with standard CSS.
Glimmer DSL for Opal webifier successfully reuses the entire [Glimmer](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer) core DSL engine in [Opal Ruby](https://opalrb.com/) inside a web browser, and as such inherits the full range of powerful Glimmer desktop [data-binding](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer#data-binding) capabilities for the web.
