Summary
You should now have a working understanding of object-oriented programming, how it is implemented in C, and efficient ways of storing data. If you’re a bit unsure, don’t worry; some of these concepts are very complex. You will see plenty of examples of object-oriented design in the next chapter, in which I will introduce GTK+, the graphical user interface library used by Gaim and many other applications.
