GNOME 2 Developer's Guide

Greetings,

Last week, No Starch Press and the GNOME Foundation announced the
release of _The Official GNOME 2 Developers Guide_, the first
English-language book about developing with GNOME 2.  Written by
Matthias Warkus in German, the book was translated by Brian Ward and
given a technically polish by Michael Meeks. The forward is by Miguel de
Icaza. This book was a long time in the making.


The book can now be purchased at 
<http://www.nostarch.com/gnome_foundation.htm>
with 25% of the sales price donated to GNOME Foundation.


>From the press release:

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. 

The GNOME 2 Developer's Guide gives the reader a solid introduction to
these GNOME building blocks and teaches the reader how to fully
understand the various libraries and API's that are used to build GNOME
applications:

	Use the GTK widget set to design user-friendly interfaces
	Learn the GNOME framework, extension widgets, and GConf to build
graphical applications
	Discover the GNOME virtual file system (GNOMEVFS), a powerful means of
navigating the system
	Learn the GLib standard data structures, algorithms, utilities, and the
GObject system
	Point and click with Glade and libglade for GNOME-style rapid
application development
