[gnome-love] Getting started

["Matthew J. Fisher" <mfisher_ix maine rr com>]

Hello,

I've been using the GNOME desktop in several different distros for the
past few years, and have an interest in learning how to develop for the
GNOME platform.

I have a small project in mind, but need some advice on choice of
programming language.  I know C, C++, and C# but the tutorials I've
discovered so far seem to be primarily in C.  Is C still the best
language with which to start learning GNOME development?

The project would be a GUI alternative to the existing Lisp script for
gNewSense "kernel freedom verification":

I'm not a free software purist, but the gNewSense mindset makes me grin
-- mas papista que el papa.

Thanks in advance for any advice,
