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

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.

It seems that this book will be a bit useless, since the Gnome API will change a lot in 2.8. It should be published 2 years ago or so.

First, as was said before, the book has been updated in the English translation.

Second, the Gtk and Gnome 2.x are backwards compatible, so you don't need to change the program for it to work in later versions.

Only reason to change your source code would be to catch up to new API additions, but that's not a requirement, it's a choice.
