I am new to gtk and gnome programming and like to study GTK+ 3.0 and Gnome 3 programming. Since both of these are recent APIs, I can't find a good tutorial or blog post about these topics. The books I found on GTK+ or GNOME programming are very old ones. So I decided to start with the latest gtk tutorial at http://developer.gnome.org/gtk-tutorial/ which currently happened to be about GTK+ 2.90.7.
I need your help to find any tutorial or blogs or any book which cover GTK+ 3.0 or GNOME 3 programming topics. Would you please share any links that you know about these topics and thank you in advance.

The development of GTK 4 used version names 3.90, 3.92, etc. until the first GTK 4.0 stable release was launched in December 2020. Despite the first stable GTK 4 release, some applications using GTK still rely on GTK 2. For example, as of January 2022, GIMP is still being ported to GTK 3.
GTK is a free and open-source project maintained by GNOME and an active community of contributors. GTK is released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
To launch the GTK Inspector, focus your GTK application and press Control-Shift-D. Alternatively, move your mouse cursor to your desired widget and press Control-Shift-I to specifically inspect the widget under the mouse cursor.
Well, you need to start looking here. Second, what was said before is kinda right, there are books about Gtk+ 2.x and you could apply almost everything you learn to Gtk+ 3.x programming. I started by using Gtk+ 2.x and a few time later Gtk+ 3.x went out. I changed to the new version, migrated my old code, and that was how I learn to use Gtk+ 3.x, although have to say that is a process of always learning with Gtk/Glib based programming. My recommendation: Learn Gtk+ 2.x there's some books, and some tutorials around. I remember this. And your other tool, main tool to is to read Gnome Project code, code from nautilus, gnome-control-center, gnome-utils, etc., almost everything basic you want to make your app do, there's already done by some Gnome module.
