hi, im trying to write a linux app in C with GTK and im looking for some good tutorials.

last time i did C was 2 years ago, and it was for dos. i still understand the basics, but a refresher wouldnt be bad.

what im looking to learn/use:
GTK
C/C++
socket programming for C/C++

Thanks guys.

A good guide to UNIX socket programming:

GTK+ tutorial:
http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/

Google could give you many results

Here is a nice tutorial that will get you going with GTK+ and the GNU autotoolset, and here is another by the same author that adds internationalization. Both very nice and mostly current tutorials.

Aside from that, the official tutorial is nice as is looking at the code of some simple, well written applications. Gossip is nicely done for example.

Cheers, and good luck,

i was more looking for a non super-basic c refresher.

also thanks for the gtk and socket links.

if you have any other tutorials not mentioned here, please post them.

also, i searched on google, i just thought that people might have found better ones.

If you want to do UI programming, I recommend wxWidgets as a nice framework with GTK bindings (and many others, so you end up writing portable code aswell

)

cheers,
