Resources

Once you get into writing code you will need the GTK+/Gnome API documentation and might find the tutorial at http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/ and the API documentation at http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/api-toc.html useful.

You can find an introductory article on using with Python at http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/July2000/article160.shtml.
