[Mono-list] a beginning of a Gnome.NET tutorial

[Guenther Roith]

Hello!

This sounds very exciting. IMO, it should be written on such a level, that
programmers swiching to Linux/Gnome from Windows, will have a good start.
Most likely
experienced Linux hackers, will have used gtk+, and won't need such an
introduction to Linux programming.

Gtk+, glade, gstreamer, gconf, all together are often needed to build
powerful applications, or at least make development faster or the
application more exciting.
The bad thing was, you had to go through different sources to learn about
all these technologies.

Gtk# promises to bring all these pieces more thogether, and a tutorial,
taking a new-to-linux programmer by the hand and showing him how to use it
all, is very much needed. It's a great chance to bring developers to Linux,
just like mono in general is the most promising development tool in that
concern.

I'm very interested to help.
