[KLUG Members] Link Of the Week GTK tutorial

[Jim Pharis]

Im playing with GTK right now. Been finding myself at that tutorial alot
but the best resource I have found so far is at www.wrox.com, which of
course publishes books. They have all the code from their beginning GTK
programming book in a tarball. Printing it out is a small book in itself
but its full of solid examples on how to put the peices together. TIP
(dont print the executables).

<rant>
I learned not to sit down in front of glade unless you understand packing
widgets. Otherwise you'll get mad at glade and blaim it for your
ignorence. Once you learn GTK programming well enough you'll go back to
glade and think "this is nice".
</rant>

Im interested to know from someone who already knows graphical
programming, how close is GTK. Does GTK adhere to other graphical
programming languages designs? I recognized events from my Java Script
experience, but thats the extent of it.

Nice Link, Jim Pharis
