good book

[Mirek Dobsicek <m.dobsicek@sh.cvut.cz>]

Hi,
I'm about to buy the book Professional Linux Programming -- by Neil 
Matthew and Richard Stones.

I'd like to learn programming under linux (some basic skills I
already have) and then develop Gnome (oaf) application.

But the Gnome is now going to its version 2, so is this
book good choice? Should I wait for revised version
or start learning with it, and hope that changes in version 2
will not be big?
