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

Gnome Foundation
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.

Re: Oh great...

It will be old after half a year, when 2.8 will be released, since there will be significant API changes.

Do anyone wish to by a book that will be useful about six month or so?

The GTK and Gnome APIs are backward compatible during the whole 2.x cycle, so programs made even for gtk 2.0 will work in gtk 2.2, 2.4, 2.6 or 2.N.

Of course, they'll need to be updated to catch the new API additions, but they'll work perfectly.
