With the rise of such Windowslike desktop environments as GNOME, Linux is poised to go mainstream. Programming expert Arthur Griffith shows beginning to advanced C and C++ programmers how to use the Gimp ToolKit, GNOME widgets, and other open source tools to create user-friendly graphical interfaces for GNOME desktop applications and much more. The CD-ROM includes all the examples used in the bible, GNOME core files and libraries, a compiler, autoconf, and automake.
Aurthur Griffith shows a reader the code and the results of execution. Then he procedes to explain all the nuances of what each statement does and why it is required. The debth of coverage is staggering, but that should not discourage a novice since the material is presented one step at a time. It also includes help setting up a programming environment so that the satisfaction of seeing one's own creations work is readily available.Where this book shines is the index. It is detailed and very complete. I continue to use it to find the information I need.
