The GtkBook is an ambitious project that aims to create new useable and world class documentation for the Gtk tool kit, in code as well as concepts.

Its is aimed to be useful to the hacker as well as the novice in their attempt to master the nuances of the Gtk toolkit to develop better free-software faster and easier.

The documents are to be written in simple english and are expected to be translated to many languages as soon as the project nears initial release stages.

Gtk is still the most under-documented toolkit thats patronized widely and rightly at that. Its the initial learning curve that we target in this book and we have to overcome for any serious programmer to contribute to the Gtk world.
