GTK for Web Developers

[dar5hak]

Speaker: @dar5hak

Bridge your web development know-how to the desktop world. This draws parallels between CSS Grid and Gtk.Grid, DOM tree and Gtk.Window hierarchy, and (loosely) reactive components and Gtk.Widget. Also mentions what does not carry over from the web (like declarative markup).

This could also touch upon GTK CSS, unless another talk (like #7) plans to cover that.

This sounds really really interesting 👌

I'd very much be interested in this as this is the very path I am on now!

[mr-islam]

Would really love this myself, and it should help a large audience who want to make the jump from web dev into GTK

There is also GJS guide for those interested.

It would be nice if it explains the Elementary design choices inside the GTK CSS definitions, both light & dark themes

[dar5hak]

That's something I am yet to learn too. Let me see what fits into the scope for the target audience.

@dar5hak we've accepted your talk. :) You can get started writing it now if you'd like, and we will provide further instructions/guidance around the recording once we've accepted all the talks.

Another interesting thing to cover (depending on time) is using the GTK inspector and how it's similar to web inspector tools.

Thanks, Cassidy. I'll start outlining the content.

Yeah, GTK inspector would be a suitable addition. I'll introduce that as well. 👍
