Book Description
Linux continues to go from strength to strength, not only taking 20% of the server market but becoming an increasingly popular choice as a standalone desktop platform. The hot issue for the future of Linux is building a graphical front end to compete directly with Windows. Thankfully, the source code is open and available for download and everything about the Graphical User Interface (GUI) is programmable.

This book teaches you how to do it using the GNOME architecture

(GNU Network Object Model Environment) and GTK+ - the interface which GNOME applications use to interact with the user.

Book Info
Provides an easy-to-learn, object-oriented set of libraries to help develop professional graphical interfaces. Softcover.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another good Wrox book, June 21, 2000
By R. Krause (Tempe, AZ) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is well written and on a whole well executed. The two sample projects that he walks you through I thought were excellent additions to the book. The author also gives you a brief background of the GNOME project and how it is different from KDE which uses QT.

One thing I did not like about this book was the fact he does not give any mention to GTK-- which is the C++ kit or any of the many other languages that can take advantage of GTK beyond acknowledging it's existance. It would have been really nice for this book to have had a chapter on other languages and GTK.

Also the chapter on the rapid application development (AKA RAD) tool GLADE was rather skimpy.

However if you are a C programmer looking for a good GTK book, look no further.
