Glade 2 Tutorial

Posted by michael on from the hey-it-looks-just-like-windows dept.

Renartthefox writes "Rikke D. Giles has written a new tutorial for Glade II. Glade is a program designed to enable the quick building of graphical user interfaces for GTK+ and GNOME applications. However, it can be used with any desktop environment in linux, as long as the GTK+ and/or GNOME libraries are installed."

  1. Great, but..... by mickwd · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Can we have articles like this listed and catalogued in a single place somewhere ?

    If I happen to be wanting to learn Glade 2 now, this article will be really useful. Otherwise, I could bookmark it for future reference (assuming it'll still be there in a few months time) - or download it, and save it on a directory somewhere.

    What about having somewhere such as the Linux Documentation Project keep a collection of articles like this (or keep a list of dated bookmarks to useful external articles) - simultaneously making both the Linux Documentation Project, and the articles in links to, more useful resources to more people.

  2. When will it end ?? by Timesprout · · Score: 5, Funny

    What is the linux community coming to when people actually write tutorials on how to use applications. Man pages with so many options they resemble a form of Hieroglyph were just about acceptable. Worse was to follow a lot half heart how-to's which fortunately seldom explained what you actually wanted.
    Next thing you know linux apps will be come fully documented, with samples and context sensitive help. Anyone will be able to use them !!

  3. GNOME needs more user friendly documentation. by Idimmu+Xul · · Score: 5, Insightful

    GNOME has some wonderful technologies at it's disposal, but the documentation is crap. Reading someone else's code is not the best way to learn imho, and some decent documentation covering bonobo etc is just what the doctor ordered.

  4. Additional Glade info by A+Proud+American · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Due to the nature of the work at my place of employment, we're generally stuck using Visual C++ (on the Windows platform) for most of our coding.

    Nonetheless, I work with Glade on weekends for fun. Here are some other interesting links that you'll undoubtedly enjoy:
