NO STARCH PRESS RELEASES THE OFFICIAL GNOME 2 DEVELOPER'S GUIDE

Submitted by stro on Sat, 2004-04-17 10:57. Gnome Foundation

An increasing number of developers worldwide are interested in GNOME, the user-friendly GUI and desktop development platform for UNIX and Linux. However, the development documentation for GNOME, while voluminous, is intimidating to a developer not wholly familiar with the GNOME development process. To help rectify this situation, No Starch Press and the GNOME Foundation announce the release of The Official GNOME 2 Developers Guide, the first English-language book about developing with GNOME 2. With this book, current and would-be GNOME developers can come up to speed with the building blocks of GNOME development: GLib, GTK, and the GNOME API's.

Sorry, this book seems kind of old. (for me.)

I already purchased my copy back in late 2002 in germany.

But it is really good for beginners as well as for advanced programmers. (I would give it a 9 out of 10 points. GNOME PHOTO PRINTER would have never been born without this book.)

The topics and the examples are well documented and the book is still up to date since it describes Glib/GObject, Gtk+, GNOME, Glade/libglade, GConf and GNOME-VFS for version 2.something.

I would like to see more books for programming GTK+/GNOME since it seems that QT/KDE is more/better documented (Books) than GTK+/GNOME.

Btw. some of my questions were answered by the tons of devel-mailing-lists i subscribed to.

(Sorry for my english.)
