Vala Programming

Vala is a new programming language that aims to bring modern

programming language features to GNOME developers without
imposing any additional runtime requirements or different Application
Binary Intefaces (ABIs) compared to applications and libraries written
in C.

This book aims to be a complete guide to learning how to program in

Vala. While it is aimed primarily at new users of the language, it is also
intended to be useful for experienced Vala programmers and as a
comprehensive reference.
