Crafting a Native GNOME App for Ubuntu and Ship It Via Snap

Session Details

We will explore the process of crafting native GNOME applications specifically tailored for Ubuntu. By adhering to the GNOME design principles and leveraging the power of GTK and other GNOME libraries, developers can create apps that seamlessly integrate with the Ubuntu desktop environment. Furthermore, we will dive into the advantages of distributing these applications using Snap, a universal package format that provides easy installation and updates.

This talk aims to provide the audience with a comprehensive understanding of GNOME app development for Ubuntu, focusing on the big picture rather than a workshop-style session. Attendees will gain insights into the fundamental principles of GNOME, tools and technologies used for app development, designing user-friendly interfaces, coding choices, and the benefits of using Snap for efficient distribution.
