Hi Nick, As Alberto mentioned, there is a current, very active effort going on at: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-devel-docs/tree/platform-demos/C.<http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-devel-docs/tree/platform-demos/C>
The most active section is the creation of "Beginner Tutorials" in C, Vala, Python and JavaScript. The Gnome Outreach programme has 3 interns plus myself currently dedicated to the effort. I am familiar with Foundations of Gtk+, and have also wished it be updated :-) The "Beginner Tutorials" are also including GtkApplicationWindow and the app menu technologies. We did the second release of this effort just this week: Vala: http://developer.gnome.org/gnome-devel-demos/unstable/beginner.vala.html.en Python: http://developer.gnome.org/gnome-devel-demos/unstable/beginner.py.html.en JavaScript: http://developer.gnome.org/gnome-devel-demos/unstable/beginner.js.html.en C: http://developer.gnome.org/gnome-devel-demos/unstable/beginner.c.html.en Since the release, more sample code has already been added to the repo. We are hoping to make a release every two weeks, so I welcome you to check in on the progress. Additionally, in August we are planning a hackfest at the OpenHelp Conference, which will focus on the Beginner Tutorials, as well as other Platform Tutorials. We are hoping to have a complete set of tutorials including up-to-date technologies ready for all 4 programming languages mentioned by the end of the summer. Hope this information helps, Tiffany On 2 June 2012 15:15, Alberto Ruiz <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Nick, > > Actually, there's a lot of sample code being written for the GNOME > Developer Docs: > http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-devel-docs/tree/platform-demos/C > > You should start cherry picking those suitable for learn-x-the-hard-way > and start a repo! > > 2012/6/2 Nick Glynn <[email protected]> > >> Hey list, >> >> Are there any efforts to develop a new Gtk/Gnome Development book as I >> think the most recent was Foundations of Gtk Development which was 2007 and >> a fair bit has changed since then. >> >> I appreciate there's a lot better documentation/tutorials on *.gnome.org >> these days but wondered if something akin to Zed Shaws Learn X The Hard Way >> is in the works such that it can be contributed to by the community as well >> as those in the know and kept up to date much easier than a traditional >> book. >> >> For those unfamiliar with the concept you can see the outline repo here >> https://gitorious.org/learn-x-the-hard-way/learn-x-the-hard-way and more >> examples of the type of documentation can be seen at >> http://www.learncodethehardway.com/ >> >> I've had a look and couldn't find anything in progress but Google doesn't >> seem to index github/gitorious projects all that well. >> >> Regards, >> Nick >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> desktop-devel-list mailing list >> [email protected] >> https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list >> > > > > -- > Cheers, > Alberto Ruiz > > _______________________________________________ > desktop-devel-list mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list > -- Tiffany Antopolski
