Actually, even Linux programmers could use an introduction to GTK. Each time I tried gtk, I was missing the C++ syntax of Qt too much and went back to Qt. Perhaps, I'm lazy, stupid (or both), but it seems I was able to pickup Qt pretty much by just following their little samples. It builds a tank game steps by steps, each step introducing a new concept until you get a full game at the end.
I was programming my own 3D editor afterwards with little or no problems. With Gtk, perhaps I didn't spend as much time with tutorials or whatever but it always seemed awkward. Although, the applications in Gtk look better and I do want to use it for my programs. I'm hoping Gtk# will be as intuitive as Qt was for me. Please note, that this was a long time ago (5 years?). I'm sure the documentation for gnome as improved since (although a year ago, it still didn't have the intuitive tutorial of Qt). Anyway, ranting = off :) Phil -----Original Message----- From: Guenther Roith [mailto:groith@;tcrz.net] Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2002 12:35 PM To: Martin Willemoes Hansen Cc: mono-list Subject: Re: [Mono-list] a beginning of a Gnome.NET tutorial Hello! This sounds very exciting. IMO, it should be written on such a level, that programmers swiching to Linux/Gnome from Windows, will have a good start. Most likely experienced Linux hackers, will have used gtk+, and won't need such an introduction to Linux programming. Gtk+, glade, gstreamer, gconf, all together are often needed to build powerful applications, or at least make development faster or the application more exciting. The bad thing was, you had to go through different sources to learn about all these technologies. Gtk# promises to bring all these pieces more thogether, and a tutorial, taking a new-to-linux programmer by the hand and showing him how to use it all, is very much needed. It's a great chance to bring developers to Linux, just like mono in general is the most promising development tool in that concern. I'm very interested to help.
