Antonio Larrosa: KDE Tutorial

Written By

Dec 24, 1999

This is a tutorial that teaches how to develop a simple KDE
application step by step, with explanations on every line of code
and giving always more importance to clean code than to build a
real application.

“The main requisite to read this tutorial is to have a bit of
experience with C++ programming (this is not a C++ tutorial !), no
Qt nor KDE previous knowledge is needed . Anyway I recommend to
read also the Qt tutorial which is quite useful to start on this
passionate world.”

“You’ll need a KDE version from December or later (i.e. KRASH).
That is, one of the snapshots of the forthcoming 2.0 version. If
you haven’t installed it yet, read this page for the information on
how to do it. Be warned that the CVS snapshot versions are not
suitable for daily uses and should only be installed by developers
who want to be sure that their applications will run on the future
desktop technology.”
