1.2. Preliminary Reading

This guide assumes that you are somewhat familiar with the basic workings of GStreamer. For a gentle introduction to programming concepts in GStreamer, you may wish to read the GStreamer Application Development Manual first. Also check out the documentation available on the GStreamer web site.

Since GStreamer adheres to the GObject programming model, this guide also assumes that you understand the basics of GObject programming. There are several good introductions to the GObject library, including the GTK+ Tutorial and the Glib Object system.
