DESCRIPTION:
. Readers learn how to create buttons, menus, and other graphical user interface (GUI) elements, as well as polygons, pixels, and other custom graphics forms. Griffith's style goes heavy on code, which may or may not be to your liking. With Linux's popularity as a workstation operating system skyrocketing and GNOME the most popular desktop environment for Linux, it makes sense for programmers to develop proficiency in GNOME programming. A GTK reference appears in an appendix. Read this volume for a well-grounded and wide-ranging explanation of what you can do with graphics under GNOME. He knows X programming very well, and does a fine job of introducing programmers (he assumes only famil
With the rise of such Windowslike desktop environments as GNOME, Linux is poised to go mainstream. The CD-ROM includes all the examples used in the bible, GNOME core files and libraries, a compiler, autoconf, and automake.. Programming expert Arthur Griffith shows beginning to advanced C and C++ programmers how to use the Gimp ToolKit, GNOME widgets, and other open source tools to create user-friendly graphical interfaces for GNOME desktop applications and much more
Great job of bringing GNOME & GTK to us Gene Holmerud Aurthur Griffith shows a reader the code and the results of execution. Then he procedes to explain all the nuances of what each statement does and why it is required. The debth of coverage is staggering, but that should not discourage a novice since the material is presented one step at a time. It also includes help setting up a programming environment so that the satisfaction of seeing one's own creations work is readily available.Where this book shines is the index. It is detailed and very complete. I continue to use it to find the information I need.. A good bood that give examples of advanced GTK+/GNOME featur GNOME/GTK+ Programming Bible is a good book but has many short commings. The good part is that it discusses some of the more advanced features of GTK+ and GNOME; specifically Paned windows, MDI windows, and Scrolled windows. The examples are generally very simplistic and way too many of the function call parameters are never explained. In the listing of GTK+ and GNOME features, the main calls are completely omitted; listing calls that support the main Widget building call. Only the function prototype is given, with no explanation as to the meaning of the call parameters. This said, I still find it a v. D. Offer said should have been called a tutorial NOT a bible. This book is a fast and easy intro to gtk and gnome programming. It contains large, complete examples which are good if you want to do what everyone else is doing.
