Beginning GTK+/GNOME programming
Peter R. Wright · 2000
From the Publisher: GTK+ and GNOME provide you with a very powerful, yet easy-to-learn, object-oriented set of libraries to help you develop professional graphical interfaces. GTK+ and GNOME are exciting development technologies that allow you to create and manipulate windows, buttons, dialogs, menus, tool tips, status bars, toolbars, progress bars, horizontal and vertical scroll bars. They also have facilities for handling colors and fonts. Programming in GTK+ and GNOME is made even easier by the availability of the powerful integrated development environment gIDE and project builder Glade. The visual appeal of the user interface that GTK+ /GNOME can create is limited only by the developer's imagination. You'll learn all this and more from this book. Who is this book for? If you would like to contribute to the next big leap for Linux - the move into the desktop market, then this book is for you. It's useful for both the beginner who would like to learn about the infinite possibilities offered by the open source user interface programming, and the experienced programmer who would like to develop Linux applications with user-friendly graphical interfaces. Have you installed Linux? Do you know simple C programming? That is all you need to start reading this book and developing very sophisticated and attractive graphical interfaces.
