Since the web link seems to be down, I'm sending it by mail. Sorry about 
that.

Subject
=======
GUI programming in Python using Gtk+


Short description
=================
This tutorial will demonstrate the python bindings for the Gtk+ toolkit, 
the gazpacho UI designer and other rapid development tools developed for 
PyGTK.
Basic python experience is assumed.


Longer description
==================
An introduction to Gtk+/PyGTK will be given in a presentation. Features 
and advantages will be discussed. The audience will not need to know 
anything about development of graphical applications, neither with PyGTK 
or any other toolkits. Basic concepts will be explained and demonstrated.

Several applications will be written from scratch to show the general 
workflow of a PyGTK application:
- Hello World
- Web browser using Mozilla

The UI designer Gazpacho will be shown and a small couple of demos will 
be shown:
- Hello world using Gazpacho
- Web browser
- Full featured text editor

If time is given, additional GNOME technologies such as virtual 
filesystem, file manager, CORBA will be demostrated.

Portability, easy of use, documentation, licensing will also be noted so 
the audience have a good understand of the platform.

Length
======
(45, 60 or 90 minutes are okay)
