Is there a good tutorial or reference material on gtk gobject "c"
coding.

1) Explaining in detail the whole process from what should be in
header files and source files, structure declarations, boiler plate
code the stages of object creation and dispose and finalize functions.
What each function actually does and the interaction between them.

Google search info is fragmented in this respect.

Also any tutorial or reference material on gobject "c" coding without
using the boiler plate code and supporting glue etc.

If you can do video, Christian Hergert did a presentation on creating GObjects:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-_EBEr0fxI - it uses a lot of the newer

macro magic to reduce the boilerplate down to the bare minimum.

But the documentation and source code are really canonical - in my opinion you

will learn a lot more from reading existing code than anything else, as there have

been a few different paradigms over the years and depending on the age of the

project you may see different code/macros in use.
