Clutter tutorials

For some time I've been planning to look into Clutter more seriously, it looks like a really nice framework to build a UI engine on top of. Today I found the following two articles that gives a decent introduction to how the API works,

This post goes through the basics of Clutter's C API. It covers how to create an initial empty window, how to render simple rectangles (with textures) and finally how to animate and scale them.

This one mentions on how it's possible to use gjs to create JavaScript bindings which gives you an easier to use development environment (no memory management and other C "features").
