GNOME Developer Center

Designs for developer.gnome.org

Goals

Single portal for all developer documentation: tutorials and guides, HIG, API reference.
Engaging home page which brings content to the front.
Search should be prominent, tightly integrated, global.
View documentation by programming language and version (where appropriate).
Should work as a companion to, and have integration with, DevHelp.
Documentation should always be up to date (or almost up to date).
Easy for people to contribute documentation.

Documentation that we have right now that is good enough:

Getting Started With GTK+ - introductory programming guide that. Lives in GTK+. Currently reachable at https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-getting-started.html (doesn't seem to be listed on dgo/guides). Currently available in C only.
The HIG.

Needs a small amount of work:

Platform Demos (gnome-devel-docs). Short tutorials with sample code for demo apps. Covers JS, Python, C++, Vala, C. Some parts look rather out of date.
GNOME Application Development Overview - introduction to the various libraries. Currently lives in gnome-devel-docs. Some improvements are pending merge. Could be elaborated some more.
Integrating existing software into GNOME (gnome-devel-docs) - How to integrate an app - .desktop files, mime types, etc. Some good material. Needs brushing up.
Port your application from GNOME 2 to GNOME 3. Bare bones list of steps in porting from GNOME 2 to GNOME 3. https://wiki.gnome.org/DevGnomeOrg/Gnome3PortingGuide/. Needs brushing up and elaborating to read better. Not so much a guide as a checklist.
Everything in https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/

Needs a lot more work:

GNOME Accessibility Developers Guide. Pages seem rather sparse and look a bit odd in general. Needs a fair bit of work.
Optimization Guide. Extremely thin on material. Looks really out of date.

Swilmet made a start on good introduction to GLIB, GObJECT and GTK some time ago
