Choosing a Programming Language for GTK+ Development

In part 1 of the GTK+ and Glade3 GUI Programming Tutorial series, we designed a graphical user interface (GUI) for a GTK+ text editor application. After doing so, we were left with an XML file (tutorial.glade) which described our application's user interface.

In this part of the GTK+ and Glade3 GUI Programming Tutorial series I will be discussing the various programming languages available for GTK+ development. Subsequent parts of this tutorial will cover both C programming and Python programming. With my help, you will have to make the decision of which one you want to learn how to use (or both!).

Designing a User Interface using Glade3

In part 1 of the GTK+ and Glade3 GUI Programming Tutorial series, we will be designing the graphical user interface (GUI) for a GTK+ text editor application (shown below) which will be used throughout these tutorials. This GUI design will be created using the Glade Interface Designer and is completely independent of the programming language used to implement the design, which will come in subsequent tutorials.
