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.

I certainly didn't think so

For me, this is the biggest and best news I've heard on gnomedesktop in a while. Even bigger than release news like the most recent Gnome 2.6 release. I've been craving a book like this for a long time because the only thing online that's available are documented code run through some comment-to-doc generator. And THAT'S supposed to be their idea of documentation. It's like asking someone what something looks like only to be given a jigsaw puzzle of the image back in return. None of the architectural design, programmer's guide nor caveats for topics such as GObject programming, Glib programming, applet programming, etc. are discussed.

All caps this bit of news for me. Perhaps I can finally code Gnome 2 apps now.
