> using GTK

Maybe Qt instead?

Suggestion that because the Qt docs tend to be much, much better + it's realistically cross platform, thus opens up more possibilities.

Maybe, that's not the point. I'd rather do a GTK because back in 2004 or so I had written some software that used GTK so I'm more familiar with it - back then QT still had those licensing issues so everyone who wrote non-free software considered it to be "good, but that license ..." .

I assumed the point was to get a taste of desktop ui app development along with a taste of 20 other kinds of developmemt, not to learn gtk or qt or any particular framework.
