Books
The number of books available about GNOME is starting to grow. We
have separated the books into two important categories: "free" and "other."
The books listed in the free category are books that are
available to you free of charge, if you wish to download them. These
books are also available for purchase, so if you find them useful, you
should follow the links to purchase them. Paper has always been easier
to hold than monitors, anyway.
The other books are ones that you can not download but may be just as useful
to you. If you know of more GNOME or GNOME-related books, please email
the webmaster.

Advanced CORBA Programming with C++ - by Michi Henning and

An excellent book on CORBA programming. The book gives a great overall
view of what CORBA is and how to use it. Don't let the name fool you.
Even though it is C++ oriented, it maps over to C easily, but be sure
that you have the CORBA C specification as well.
