This course is planned to be freely available. Unfortunately, it is 
currently written in french since documentation about GObject and GLib 
is cruelly missing in this language. Depending on time available, I plan 
to  translate it in english, but I cannot promise.

This article mainly focuses on the object model implemented by the 
GObject framework and its interactions with the GType system. I try to 
make it more general than another course on GUIs programming using 
GNOME. I'd like to decouple as much as possible GObject and its use in 
GTK+ architecture, or in GUI-based applications. Hence, the main idea is 
to document in a rather comprehensive way all aspects of OO programming 
using the GLib's Object System without focusing on graphical examples. 
Mathieu Lacage's tutorial, available as part of GObject documentation, 
is a good start in this direction.

Sincerely yours

Thierry
