An Introduction to C & GUI Programming

Freshly updated for GTK3, the 2nd edition of An Introduction to C & GUI Programming will teach you all you need to know to write simple programs in C and start creating GUIs, even if you’re an absolute beginner. The first half of the book is an introduction to C, and covers the basics of writing simple command-line programs. The second half shows how to use the GTK user interface toolkit with C to create feature-rich GUI applications which can be run on the desktop. C is a very versatile and widely used programming language. It has been used to write pretty much everything, from low-level routines to control the hardware in embedded microcontrollers to complete operating systems like Linux with graphical user interfaces.
