How to get into xfce/gtk development?

[Roland Pinto]

Hi,

I just started learning C on my own (using a book called C
programming: A modern approach)and will be learning it at university
this semester. I want to get into gtk development. More specifically
help out with Xfce. I have to say it feels a little overwhelming to
get into all of that C code with all the glib,gobject,dbus,gtk stuff.
So, I would like  to know what would be best way learn all of this?
How did you guys pick this up? Any tips and things I should know
about?

Thanks for your all hard work guys. I really love the latest releases.

Roland.
