Ars Technica: Deep Inside KDE 3.2

Posted by michael on from the plumbing-the-depths dept.

binner writes "Ars Technica features an article 'Deep inside the K Desktop Environment 3.2' written by Datschge and Henrique Pinto. After introducing KDE and the project's structure the authors present some new applications of KDE 3.2. After that they explain the key KDE technologies KParts, DCOP, KIO, Kiosk and KXMLGUI and give examples for code reusage and an overview of efforts to integrate non-KDE applications. For developers Umbrello, Cervisia and Valgrind with KCachegrind are introduced and of course KDevelop 3.0. An examination of licenses precedes the positive conclusion."

    Deep inside KDE sounds very TRONish. I was hoping for a detailed look at Master Control Program. Oh well, the article must have been posted by a NULL unit.

    Are you Corn Fed?

      I read aloud "Deep inside Katie", and this girl at the next station made a face at me.

      Using the library computers sucks. As does being homeless in general.

  2. Over-linking by RKone2 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is it me, or are there way too many links in that article. Do we really need seperate links to the source code download, binaries download, release notes and system requirements pages?

    If someone has done a study on the most effective text to link ratio, I'm sure they'd find that this Ars article is about 10x higher.
