<title>GStreamer Application Development Manual</title>
</bookinfo>
<!-- ############# Overview - part ############### -->
<part id="overview"><title>Overview</title>
<partintro>
<para>
The first chapter of the book gives you an overview of GStreamer
design goals. Chapter 2 rapidly covers the basics of GStreamer
programming. In chapter 3 we will move on to the examples.
Since GStreamer adheres to the GTK+ programming model, the reader is
assumed to understand the basics of GTK+.
For a gentle introduction to GTK+, you may wish to read the <emphasis>GTK+
Tutorial</emphasis> or Eric Harlow's book <emphasis>Developing Linux
Applications with GTK+ and GDK</emphasis>.

<partintro>
<para>
We will first describe the basics of the GStreamer programming by
introducing the different objects needed to create a media pipeline.
</para>
<para>
We will use a visual representation of these objects so that we can
visualize the more complex pipelines you will learn to build later on.

<part id="build-app"><title>Building an application</title>
<partintro>
<para>
With the basic concepts out of the way, you're ready to start building a
full-scale GStreamer application. This part of the book walks you through the
creation of a generic application skeleton: a source tree using
<application>automake</application> and
<application>autoconf</application>, argument parsing, session
management, internationalization, the main window, dialogs, toolbars, and
menubars. Many examples in Part 2 come from a simple application called
"GnomeHello"; the source code for this application is included in the
back of the book. </para> <para> Of course the "meat" of the application
is up to you; but in Part 3 of the book we'll cover a range of library
features you can use to develop it.
