The GTK learning curve is quite steep. But if you know GObject well, learning GTK is easier. The GTK official tutorial don't teach you GObject though, newcomers need to figure out by themselves that they actually need (to learn) GObject.

I tried during the GTK 3 era to write a book:
https://github.com/gdev-technology/glib-gtk-learning

Nowadays I would like to finish and update the book, but it would be mostly unpaid work, so I prioritize other tasks…

Thanks, this is very interesting.
Although I am a sort of Glib/GTK+ "veteran", I am curious about how you phrased and organized the book.
I just grabbed it, the beginning looks promising.
