Hi all!
Looking at Anjuta, I have no idea if it's a great resource to start GTK programming with or not. You say yourself "presumably", and that's the greatest nail in the coffin - you're obviously involved in GNOME development and you have *no* idea, you're barely familiar with it either. Otherwise I'm pretty sure you'd use words a little less weasely about it. You don't have to be an alpha dog to realize that GNOME has no blessed development workflow.
It doesn't have and that's probably not a big problem in general. But the problem is that there is no blessed starting point for the tool that should be used to get started. I know many of the more experienced developers have used vim/emacs/gedit for years and won't change their workflow from one day to another. From the side of the anjuta team we always tried to provide a tool for new developers or from people migrating from windows. We have made major improvements over the last version but of course things are not perfect. But every new user (who files bugs) will help us to get better. But remember that only 4 people really work on anjuta and they all do that in their leisure time. That said, there is a lack of tutorial for getting started in GNOME development, for example explaining the complete workflow from zero to a complete distributable (at least tarball) application in anjuta. I was very disappointed that the Ubuntu people were basing their "Opportunistic developer"-stuff on command-line stuff mainly. So yes, writing such a tutorial, maybe for C, Python and Vala would be a great thing. If someone wants to step up (shouldn't be difficult with mallard) I will provide him any help I can. Regards, Johannes
