Hi,

please provide a little more background for what you want. If you find 
errors, the source for the cookbook is on Github: 
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Developer-Cookbook
So you can change it (or even translate it a in fourth language ;-) )

Because QGIS + python PLUGIN development is pretty mature, and can be 
learned if you take the cookbook, some python intro book and have a look 
in excisting plugin code. AND ask good questions here in the list or on irc

But (I would say), developing GIS applications in python, based on QGIS 
libraries is much harder, and not so much done by people. There are some 
examples (I think Martin Dobias did some work on this), but it is  more 
difficult, and has to be done by looking into cpp code and have good 
knowledge of code base. There is besides the intro in the cookbook not 
much docs available for.

So I would say: can you build your functionality as a plugin? That would 
be great, (and to be honest) of more value for the QGIS community :-)

@devs please correct me if I'm wrong
