Hello all
Lately I really want to start hacking my UBUNTU. I looked at the applications that are installed and interested me and stoped at "system monitor" processes really interest me .
I have downloaded the code from here link text , but after I looked at it I pretty sure I need some help with it. (no idea how to run it compile and starting checking it)
Can you recommend me some books , tutorials how to get started with this one. I have back ground with c/c++/perl.
Thansk for help.
It appears currently the most popular option for Gnome development is GTK+.
There are some GTK+ tutorials for Gnome here, which are part of the Gnome Documentation Library.
Another option to do Gnome development is the open source .NET platform, Mono.
Hopefully that is enough to get you started. I didn't recommend any books since I would not consider myself knowledgeable enough on GTK+ or Mono to make a worthy recommendation.
I might suggest a fairly new Ubuntu project called Quickly, which jumpstarts your coding by writing the scaffolding of a Python/GTK+ application for you... well, uh, quickly. Python is fairly strait-forward as modern/dynamic/OOP + functional languages go, so learning Python should not be difficult for you. And the PyGTK libraries are quite close to the GTK+, so any time you spend learning them will apply to GTK+-programming in any other language, too.
