GNOME 3 provides both modern desktops and development platforms with more than 50 supported languages of the world. Since 1999, it has been evolving into a very nice desktop to use and an interesting platform to develop on.

"GNOME 3 Application Development Beginner's Guide" is about developing GNOME 3 application with Vala and JavaScript programming languages. It guides the reader to build Gtk+, Clutter, and HTML5 applications on the GNOME 3 platform. It covers GNOME 3 specific subsystems such as data access, multimedia, networking, and filesystem. It also covers good software engineering practices such as localization and testing.

This book is full of step-by-step tutorials and ready to run codes. The examples are written in a simple and straightforward way to make it easier for the reader to get a thorough understanding of the topics.

The book starts with the installation of GNOME 3 and ends with building two exciting projects, a web browser and a Twitter client. The book starts from the basics and gradually talks about more advanced topics.
