Hey Shaji,

that should actually be pretty much straightforward to implement. You
can write the basic application window including the notebook in C, and
then load html files in views in each tab. Or alternatively do the
notebook in html/ css. Have a look at JavaScript.h and friends as for
how to add functions to javascript that are implemented in C. There
should even be a few examples in the archives of this mailing list.

Be welcome to pose more exact questions, or join #webkit-gtk on freenode

ciao,
