Re: [gnome-love] Newcomer seeking advice

Chamila,

welcome, and thanks for saying hi!

Actually relatively few GNOME applications are written in C++.  Most core or older applications are in C, which of course will be familiar if you know C++.  Some newer applications have been written or rewritten in Vala (e.g. Baobab, gitg).

If you're especially interested in C++, you could look at Gnote, which is in C++:

I use Gnote often, and it has plenty of bugs I'd love to see fixed:

Hi,

I'm a newcomer to gnome and found out this is the best place to start. I like programming in C++.  I'm searching for a project to begin (a small thing would be nice to get familiar with the whole thing.). Are there any recommendations. 

thanks in advance
