Getting Started with GTK and GLade for GUI programming

,----[ Quote ]
| Considering you have read the previous 
| article on GUI programming, this article 
| will give an insight about GTK.
| 
| When starting learning Glade, it is 
| essential to learn the basic concepts of 
| GTK+. Unfortunately there is a 
| misconception that itâs enough to learn 
| Glade for learning GUI designing rather 
| than learning GTK+. Glade is definitely an 
| easier way to implement GTK but it is 
| impossible to create interface for your 
| application with only Glade knowledge.

How to correctly create ODF documents using zip

,----[ Quote ]
| One of the great advantages of the 
| OpenDocument format is that it is simply a 
| zip file. You can unzip it with any 
| archiver and take a look at the contents, 
| which is a set of XML documents and 
| associated data. Many people are using this 
| feature do create some nifty toolchains. 
| Unzip, make some changes, zip it again and 
| you have a new ODF document. Wellâ almost.
| 
| The OpenDocument Format specification, 
| section 17.4 has one little extra 
| restriction when it comes to zip 
| containers: The file called âmimetypeâ must 
| be at the beginning of the zip file, it 
| must be uncompressed and it must be stored 
| without any additional file attributes. 
| Unfortunately many developers seem to 
| forget this. It is the number one cause of 
| failed documents at Officeshots.org. If the 
| mimetype file is not correctly zipped then 
| it is not possible to programmatically 
| detect the mimetype of the ODF file. And if 
| the mimetype check fails, Officeshots (and 
| possibly other applications) will refuse 
| the document. This problem is compounded 
| because virtually no ODF validator checks 
| the zip container. They only check the 
| contents.
