Hi Dave, I'm actually not a desktop developer, but I'm very involved with the people who are. In fact, I've gone ahead and CC'd the elementary Developer Community mailing list on this reply. ;)
elementary uses Vala <https://live.gnome.org/Vala> as our primary programming language and our apps utilize GTK+ <http://www.gtk.org/> as our toolkit. You can check out what sorts of other technologies we utilize here<http://elementaryos.org/developer/tech> . One cool thing we're working on is an official developer guide. We don't have a ton of it completed at this point, but what we do have is available on a preview of our new website here<http://master.elementaryos.org/docs/read/code>. We're actually actively writing it over the next few days, so you might be able to get started and keep up with us as it's written. So far, it covers setting up a simple hello world project, introduces how we do distributed development, and talks about packaging your apps up for other users. (There is also an older massive community-written developer guide draft, but it gets pretty confusing. We're using bits and pieces of it as a reference for the official one, so you're better off just using the official one.) Lastly, feel free to keep in touch with our developers! You can join the mailing list <https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community> (bottom-left of that page) and/or join us via IRC in #elementary-dev on irc.freenode.net. We're always happy to see new faces and help people along.
