Use the D-Bus binding of your programming language, then see http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-tutorial.html to get the basics of D-Bus programming, which are not very complicated. HAL tells over D-Bus when a device has been attached to the system, to which /dev/, etc. Your application then simply has to register for these events over D-Bus. See http://friky.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/friky/friky2/trunk/friky2/usbkey.py?revision=138&view=markup for a Python version of this. If your system already uses D-Bus and HAL, then clearly, this is the best solution. If your system only relies on udev or mdev, then the solution proposed by Matthias Kaehlcke (custom udev rules) is good.
