Well Havoc´s book is on line. And there are lots of other white papers and useful tutorials at developers.gnome.org. You might consider getting not only the tutorials but the API too. The whole GNOME / GTK code is plataform independent since GDK is what interacts with the plataform. And if you are using C/C++ code you shouldn´t have any problem with the tutorials and the papers. (C# will have its own wrapper too). So go though the Red Hat website (you might consider eLearning), see what they have there, visit the Red Hat Advanced Development Labs and the GNOME site. Also irc.gnome.org is a very good place to ask questions and to ask for material to be shared. We can meet in the IRC so I can send you some material if you want.
Love,
Jaime.

I grabbed the GTK tutorial from www.gtk.org ... I'm im Brazil, and for buy online i need a international credit card, that's a lot hard here; first you need a passport or a huge bank account to get one. Then those books are very far from me; all i can do is read online docs and download and examine source codes - and here another big problem for me: all code i found are about tools for linux, that i can't compile and run.To explain better my situation: My effort with GTK is to port my apps to GTK, and with this done i'll finally can jump to linux. At start i tried FLTK and VGUI - both are very incomplete; next i tried phpGtk, a great tool, but interpreted and yet very instable; maybe in a year will be stable, but i can't wait this; then wxWindows - is solid, complete, but some strange limitations like no way to limit the size of an entry nor make custom entry validations - and not only the visual of the apps isn't granted to be the same in different OSs, but some features are platform-specific. Now i'm trying GTK+: Here i found again all good things found in phpGtk in a solid & fast enviroinment - and better than just C++ compiled: GNU C++ compiled. Then i stay here from now.Then i'm asking for online GTK+ docs, tutorials and platform-independent source codes. All clues are wellcome !Thanks !Mauro Ferreira----- Original Message -----From: Jaime Anguiano OlarraTo: Mauro FerreiraSent: Sunday, August 19, 2001 2:04 PMSubject: Re: A newbie question...Hi
Maybe the best is to get Eric Harlow´s book and/or Havoc Penington´s.
Visit the www.gtk.org and developers.gnome.org for more information.
I wish you luck.

I'm a newbie using GTK+ 1.3 and GNU mingw 2.95.2 with the DEV-C++ 4.01
IDE. I sussefully compiled all examples in gtk tutorial.
My feelings tell me that i need to learn a lot more before start to
develop with GTK+.....
Can someone points to me some 'cool' links about GTK+ ? I tried a
exaustive search with Yahoo & Altavista, but without clues from veteran
developers, this is going too hard...
Thanks in advance !
