: An introduction about writing GLib/GTK+ applications in C
GNOME lacks a good and recent book about writing applications and libraries. I was motivated, some months ago, to write such a book. But this motivation has dissipated somehow, I don't think I'm the right person.
Anyway, here is my attempt:
The GLib/GTK+ Development Platform (version 0.2)
It contains an introduction to GLib, which is mostly an updated version of the corresponding chapter in GTK+/Gnome Application Development, written by Havoc Pennington (with his permission).
Even if the document is short, I think it can already be an interesting read. With the hope that the content can be reused for a real book in the future…
Edit: update links (in 2026).
