"I'm running in C. This is all going to be done in C. If you want to go to C++, just make it confusing and it will be C++" 😂😂😂
Thanks for the laugh! And the tutorial :) Appreciate it.

It's not important, but I'm gonna go out on a whim and say this man's using Mint Cinnamon with a Windows XP theme.
Love the video!

This video even 5 years later was very illuminating! Thank you!

This was fantastic! Great tutorial, thank you for sharing.
And to pile on: "The problem with a lot of C++ code is it tends to look like, 'look ma no hands', it becomes magic, everyone hides the subroutines and nobody puts any documentation in."
Classic! 😂

18:06 "If you want to go to C++, just make it confusing and it will be C++" - Brilliant!!! :)

Hi Kevin, just started to go through your video series. They are awesome, very well narrated and concise. I have been pondering the best approach to basing GUI programming under Linux and this has been a massive help. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and helping me out here. I am sure others share my feedback.

I love your description of C++, was literally laughing out load! Such a true statement!

Many thanks for this quick intro to Gtk, Glade, C source, and how to compile and make the program. This so reminds of early MacOS programming when we used to use ResEdit to make the GUI and a text editor to write the code, and then pray to the Cupertino deities that the info found in your version of Inside Macintosh matched the version of your current running MacOS. Those were the days! Now I've been spoiled by Visual Studio and Xcode and the like. I'm surprised that I haven't found similar types of IDEs for Ubuntu. Thanks again!

Makes me realize just how good Borland Builder was a hundred years ago. Man I miss that IDE.

You can actually drag and drop and resize widgets if you hold down Shift.

This is a terrific video! thanks!. I really appreciate how you've explained specific little details in context e.g. casting of functions and the interplay of gtk and the glade files. This is really useful for me since I know my way around linux and command lines and software generally software but I'm not an everyday coder so when I put the thing down for a decade and come back to it, I need to relearn some stuff that's not 'command-line relfex'. Apparently now all the cool kids are using Go..go figure..looks a lot like C to me.

I randomly stumbled upon this. Incredibly valuable! Thank you so much sir!

9:21 when you call GTK, GTK calls back to you.

[kevinmeganck]

Thanks for these tutorials I was searching some good tutorials about glade.

[ObligedTester]

This has to be the absolute best programming tutorial all categories on YouTube, thank you so much! Any info if there is possible to have the preview in the design be the same as the one choosed for the window? I.e i choose 640x320 for the window size, but the preview in the glade is much smaller?

[shriniwasdewade]

when u said i wanted to die and later on proceeded to say *i am not going to take part in a death ritual* I FELT CONFUSED and LAUGHED A LITTLE!

[Guddler]

Thank you - i like your presentation style :)

I've been trying to work out how to farm out the UI work in Vala to Glade builder and it only took minimal experimentation after watching this video to work out the relationship between glade, builder and link them up in Vala. It's a bit different but wasn't that hard.

Thank you, you don't really know how much I appreciate this
