Developing Applications with KJSEmbed

Posted by michael on from the chop-suey dept.

Rich writes "Ian Geiser of SourceXtreme has released an interesting HOWTO showing how you can use KDE's embedded JavaScript tool to write quick-and-dirty apps. The apps can use the features of Qt and KDE to pack a lot of punch for a small amount of code. You can find it on his website."

    I wish someone in linux would implement a system that mimics the functionality of apple script. before people go off flaming me, let me explain for those who don't know what it does. apple script basically lets you set hooks in the program in a standard way so that anyone can script an application by manipulating objects in the program. the program registers with the applescript by giving it a list of all the objects it has and the methods these objects have that you can call on them. it's a very clean interface, and requries little extra work from the developers (which is nice). even if this does exist for KDE/gnome.. it's under documented, or no one uses it!

      It's called DCOP and it's used a lot. Here's one of several tutorial on the subject: IBM tutorial. Note that Ian is planning a tutorial showing how you can use DCOP from KJSEmbed in this series too.

    a) works
    2) can take VB and convert
    d) can compile nicely to multiple architectures.

    Does VB have an enumerator that counts a,2,d?
