Thanks for the replies, really charming =). I got
myself to gtk developer manuals, the one written by havoc pannington
(http://developer.gnome.org/doc/GGAD/) and the one in the gtk webpage.
My interest in learning gtk is to apply it to gimp, understand how the
interface works and connects to the internal process and be able to
change it if necessary (like adding a new option to a plug-in for
example).
At the same time I'm going to be reading a classic
book I found in my college's library, computer graphics: principles
and practices by Foley and Van Dam. Old stuff but basics are always
applicable. I know I can find figure out the how things work looking
into the gimp code, but want to get the basics in my head meanwhile I
start. If anybody knows a better book out there for this purpose let me
know please. I saw one written by Sun but didn't seam so complete as
the other.
cheers,
Luis
pd: not d33p anymore in the irc channel but luis (or similar since luis seams to be taken)

Hah! Well, same story for me, actually. I've been just going through
the code over and over again, seeing something I didn't notice before,
taking an hour of research here and there. It's a slow process, but
when you get how some stuff works, it really wows you. The code is
surprisingly easy to read once you get the system down of how it's
made. One thing I decided to do was look at some of the way earlier
code for gimp when I didn't get how something ties in with the rest. I
still haven't really done much with the older gimp code yet, so I don't
know how much it really helps with understanding, but you could try
that as well. Then again, if all you want to learn is GTK, I can't help
you there as I've mostly just been studying the graphics tools in gimp
right now. I'm starting to get in to that, though. Tell me if you find
any really good stuff for helping to understand and debug gimp more. I
for one have a hard time asking the right questions on the irc list
because I'm starting out so far behind.
Stick to it... it doesn't look impossible for me, so I'm sure you'll do fine.
Oh, and your english is fine. ;-)
