What resource(s) would you recommend to someone who's new to GUI programming
and would like to learn GTK+ development under Debian Woody/Sarge? I've
messed around with Motif and Xlib in the past on HP-UX and Solaris, but GTK+ or Qt seem more acceptable under Linux. Maybe there's a recommended book or online resource to learning GTK+?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
You may want to also look at wxWidgets. If you are not interested in features of GTK+ that do not exist elsewhere, then it is a good choice. It also has a very intuitive structure, is extremely well documented, and has the added bonus if using GTK2 as it's widget set in Linux. The really nice thing is that if you write code portably, wxWidgets will let you port it to straight X11, Mac OS X, Windows, OS/2, Motif, and so on. In each case, it uses the native facilities of the chosen toolkit or OS.
I used it to develop an application I wrote for my thesis, and found it very easy to pick up quickly.
