We Have A New Writer

Negavite posted a comment the other day on one of my posts telling me that he could contribute his knowledge and experience in GTK+ programming.

The reason I started this blog was to keep track of my own progress, as well as maybe providing some useful information to the Internet community by sharing my learning experiences.

Naturally, I told Negavite that yes, he would be welcome to contribute articles to this blog. Because what helps me learn GTK+ will undoubtedly help others as well.

So, without further ado, here’s Negavite (on the next post) with his introductory first article!

As Big As This

I created this blog as a sort of personal journal in which I would write all my discoveries as I try to learn how to program an application in GNOME using GTK, from scratch. While I’ve been coding in quite a few languages, I am not adept at GUI programming, mostly working on the internal subsystems of a software project.

Thus I am hoping that by putting this blog up I can more easily monitor my progress (via frequency of my posts) and track what I have learned so far. I’ll be making a syllabus page somewhere, outlining what I plan to learn and accomplish, and use that page to link to the individual posts as they are created. If there are some out there who might find this information useful, or who would like to contribute to this undertaking, you are all welcome. Please leave me a message in the comments.

With that, let’s start building some neat-o Linux Apps!
