Introducing KDevelop TechNotes

adymo writes "Yesterday I have started a series of KDevelop IDE related articles. I called them "KDevelop TechNotes" and I plan to publish all useful information about the IDE - tips and tricks, use cases, tutorials, etc. Everyone is welcome to share KDevelop knowledge by writing their own issues of technotes. I will be pleased to publish them on the project website www.kdevelop.org.
The first issue should be a matter of no little interest to all free software developers. Read on to learn more about KDevelop Assistant - an advanced API documentation viewer." A second issue is out, too, demonstrating a quick (two-minute) GUI app built with Qt.

Very basic stuff

I'd say "nothing to see here, move along"..

But instead, I think that it can also become a good course, if it will expand to comprehend also other aspects of KDE programming with KDevelop.

For now it's just a hello world class.
No more, no less.

What are you, stoned?

You know what apps made it easier for me to switch to linux (years ago)? AbiWord and Mozilla, because they were cross platform. Ya know what kept a windows install on that computer for years? mIRC and Eudora. Why? Because I looked at the native linux apps (xchat and the old kmail) and was thoroughly unimpressed. I spent a lot of time on mIRC and had lots of scripts that made it do exactly what I wanted to do, I didn't want to spend the time to convert those to xchat scripts. I personally still don't like the way xchat looks (xchat2 is a nice improvment, though). Similarly, my mail, addresses and filters were already set up and working great in Eudora, I didn't want to mess with importing that to KMail which I liked a lot less at the time.

I eventually did switch over, but native applications weren't much of a selling point to me. It's hard to justify switching from one application to another one that isn't compatible.
