 Glimmer is a native-GUI cross-platform desktop development library written in Ruby. Glimmer's main innovation is a JRuby DSL that enables productive and efficient authoring of desktop application user-interfaces while relying on the robust Eclipse SWT library. Glimmer additionally innovates by having built-in data-binding support to greatly facilitate synchronizing the GUI with domain models. As a result, that achieves true decoupling of object oriented components, enabling developers to solve business problems without worrying about GUI concerns, or alternatively drive development GUI-first, and then write clean business models test-first afterwards.

+Ruby is a dynamically-typed object-oriented language, which provides great productivity gains due to its powerful expressive syntax and dynamic nature. While it is proven by the Ruby on Rails framework for web development, it currently lacks a robust platform-independent framework for building desktop applications. Given that Java libraries can now be utilized in Ruby code through JRuby, Eclipse technologies, such as SWT, JFace, and RCP can help fill the gap of desktop application development with Ruby.

+
+#### Table
+
+The SWT Tree widget renders a multi-column data table, such as a contact listing or a sales report.
+
+To data-bind a Table, you need the main model, the collection property, and the text display attribute for each table column.
+
+This involves using the `bind` keyword mentioned above in addition to a special `column_properties` keyword that takes the table column text attribute methods.
+
+It assumes you have defined the table columns via `table_column` widget.
+
+Example:
+
+```ruby
+shell {      
+  @table = table {
+    table_column {
+      text "Name"
+      width 120
+    }
+    table_column {
+      text "Age"
+      width 120
+    }
+    table_column {
+      text "Adult"
+      width 120
+    }
+    items bind(group, :people), column_properties(:name, :age, :adult)
+    selection bind(group, :selected_person)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The code above includes two data-bindings:
+- Table `items`, which first bind to the model collection property (group.people), and then maps each column property (name, age, adult) for displaying each table item column. 
+- Table `selection`, which binds the single table item selected by the user to the attribute denoted by the `bind` keyword (or binds multiple table items selected for a table with `:multi` SWT style)
+
+Additionally, Table `items` data-binding automatically stores each node model unto the SWT TableItem object via `setData` method. This enables things like searchability.
+
+The table widget in Glimmer is represented by a subclass of `WidgetProxy` called `TableProxy`.
+TableProxy includes a `search` method that takes a block to look for a table item.
+
+Example:
+
+```ruby
+found_array = @table.search { |table_item| table_item.getData == company.owner }
+```
+
+This finds a person. The array is a Java array. This enables easy passing of it to SWT `Table#setSelection` method, which expects a Java array of `TableItem` objects.
+
+To edit a table, you must invoke `TableProxy#edit_selected_table_item(column_index, before_write: nil, after_write: nil, after_cancel: nil)` or `TableProxy#edit_table_item(table_item, column_index, before_write: nil, after_write: nil, after_cancel: nil)`. 
+This automatically leverages the SWT TableEditor custom class behind the scenes, displaying a text widget to the user to change the selected or 
+passed table item text into something else. 
+It automatically persists the change to `items` data-bound model on ENTER/FOCUS-OUT or cancels on ESC/NO-CHANGE.

-
-Still, if you would like proper application name to show up on the Mac top menu bar during development, you may do so by invoking the SWT Display.setAppName method before any Display object has been instantiated (i.e. before any Glimmer widget like shell has been declared).

-  }
-}.open
-```

-Also, you may invoke `Display.setAppVersion('1.0.0')` if needed for OS app version identification reasons during development, replacing `'1.0.0'` with your application version.

+#### App Name and Version
+
+Application name (shows up on the Mac in top menu bar) and version may be specified upon [packaging](#packaging--distribution) by specifying "-Bmac.CFBundleName" and "-Bmac.CFBundleVersion" options.
+
+Still, if you would like proper application name to show up on the Mac top menu bar during development, you may do so by invoking the SWT Display.setAppName method before any Display object has been instantiated (i.e. before any Glimmer widget like shell has been declared).
+
+Example (you may copy/paste in [`girb`](#girb-glimmer-irb-command)):
+
+```ruby
+Display.setAppName('Glimmer Demo')
+
+shell(:no_resize) {
+  text "Glimmer"
+  label {
+    text "Hello, World!"
+  }
+}.open
+```
+
+Also, you may invoke `Display.setAppVersion('1.0.0')` if needed for OS app version identification reasons during development, replacing `'1.0.0'` with your application version.
