Where to Find Help on Glade

There are quite a few resources for Glade, Gtk+ and Gnome on the net. See the following for help:

Other references can be found with the glade package itself, although some of them are a bit outdated. There is an example text editor with the tarball, which is excellent for showing how to use Keys to refer to windows, and how to load files into a text widget. Get the tarball at the Glade Homepage above. I recommend the tarball, even if you use rpms for the installation, as the examples and such will be included.

There is a glade mailing list at http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/glade-users. It's a great resource.

Havoc Pennington has written Gtk+/Gnome Application Development. This book is another excellent source of information about developing with Gtk+. While it does not address Glade at all, it does talk about how the widgets work, what their parameters are, how to design and implement a complete application, what glib offers, and other juicy topics. I highly recommend it. Buy it if you can afford it. If not there is an open source html version here.
