[Vala] Ownership and strings

[Jiří Zárevúcky <zarevucky jiri gmail com>]

Hello.

I'm new to Vala and I don't really understand the ownership concept
and especially in relation to string handling. There are some texts I
found about it, but it all seems out of date or unfinished.
Is there some tutorial that can help me understand how to work with
strings? (I'm currently programming in C#, so you can point out
differences and so)
