Foundations of PyGTK Development: GUI Creation with Python

Foundations of PyGTK Development: GUI Creation with Python

by Andrew Krause (Contributor), Andrew Krause (Contributor), W. David Ashley (Author)

Synopsis

There are only two mainstream solutions for building the graphical interface of Linux-based desktop applications, and GTK+ (GIMP Toolkit) is one of them. It is a necessary technology for all Linux programmers. This book guides the reader through the complexities of GTK+, laying the groundwork that allows the reader to make the leap from novice to professional. Beginning with an overview of key topics such as widget choice, placement, and behavior, readers move on to learn about more advanced issues. Replete with real-world examples, the developer can quickly take advantages of the concepts presented within to begin building his own projects.
