Official GNOME 2 Developer's Guide

No Starch Press and the GNOME Foundation have announced the release of The Official GNOME 2 Developers Guide, the first English-language book about developing with GNOME 2. With this book, current and would-be GNOME developers can come up to speed with the building blocks of GNOME development: the GLib, GTK+, and GNOME API's.

The GNOME community has been deeply involved in the creation of this book. Matthias Warkus wrote the original in German, Miguel de Icaza wrote the foreword for the English edition, and Michael Meeks performed a thorough technical review.

Plus, No Starch Press will be donating a portion of the proceeds to the GNOME Foundation! Buy a copy today!
