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 GGAD, 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…
Good work! Keeps going, we need such a documentation on https://developer.gnome.org/guides/
Heh, heh. That link goes to a 404 so I thought you were making a joke. Turns out removing the trailing slash resolves the link.
https://developer.gnome.org/guides
Thanks, looking forward to reading it. The intro paragraph already looks interesting and is easy to understand.
May be your can put in github and community can work it. GNOME serously need a recent book on Glib/GTK+ development platform
It’s already licensed under a free license, and is on GitHub:
