	When you read the information on [[Contributing to GNUstep core libraries]], please keep in mind that while it was written primarily form the point of view of contributing code to the gnustep-base library, the principles all apply to the gnustep-gui library (and other library code too). Also, a lot of the information is also relevant to contributions to application/tool code, not just library code.

 === Simple Graphical Application Design ===
-GNUstep includes several sophisticated development tools. GNUstep GUI interfaces are designed using [[Gorm]] (Graphical Object Relationship Modeler), an elegant application developed by Gregory Casamento. (See his [http://heronsperch.blogspot.com/ blog] for the latest news on GORM.) There are two proto-IDEs, [[ProjectCenter]] and [[ProjectManager]].

(See his [http://heronsperch.blogspot.com/ blog] for the latest news on GORM.) There is a proto-IDE, [[ProjectCenter]].
 There are several introductory tutorials for using these development tools. The first [http://www.gnustep.it/pierre-yves/index.html tutorial] by Pierre-Yves Rivaille is a classic demonstrating the process used to create the ubiquitous currency converter application. A second [http://www.nongnu.org/gstutorial/ tutorial] by Yen-Ju Chen is somewhat more in-depth and extensive.

 The Makefile package is a system of make commands that is designed to encapsulate all the complex details of building and installing various types of projects from libraries to applications to documentation. This frees the developer to focus on the details of their particular project. Only a fairly simple main makefile need to be written which specifies the type of project and files involved in the project.

	While Objective-C is not a difficult language to learn or use, some of the terms may be unfamiliar, especially to those that have not programmed using an object-oriented programming language before. Whenever possible, concepts will be explained in simple terms rather than in more advanced programming terms, and comparisons to other languages will be used to aid in illustration.
