  1. Re:How about a book on how to *use* KDE? on KDE Publishes a Book For Beginner Developers · · Score: 1

    Feel free to start one on http://booki.flossmanuals.net/ . The platform is quite good. I did think of starting such a project, but I just don't have the time to write/maitain such a book.

  2. Re:nitty gritty on KDE Publishes a Book For Beginner Developers · · Score: 1

    Ah, thats because the PDF is a A4 size document whereas the actual printed book is a smaller ( 5.5" x 8.5" ).

  3. Re:not for new devs on KDE Publishes a Book For Beginner Developers · · Score: 1

    For people starting with absolutely no Qt knowledge we link to the tutorials documented on the Qt site.

    Nope, focuses on the current git workflow, IDE's and other stuff

  5. Re:Feedback Welcome on KDE Publishes a Book For Beginner Developers · · Score: 2

    Hi gbjbaanb We used the Booki platform which does all the heavy lifting of generating the PDF/ePub/publishing to lulu. It's quite easy to use although we found the editor to be a bit quirky and requested that the developers improve it. You can create revisions of manual just like you would in real books, you can clone existing manuals and work on them although I've been told that a way to merge changes back into a manual is coming soon ( Just like you fork code, make changes and merge it back together ). You can do all of the above and more here : http://booki.flossmanuals.net/

  6. Feedback Welcome on KDE Publishes a Book For Beginner Developers · · Score: 2

    Hi I'm Rohan Garg, one of the authors of the book. I'd like to mention that we would love feedback from people who are reading the book. How can we improve it? Don't like the artwork? Show us some awesome artwork and we'll ship it. Tell us what needs fixing and we'll work something out.

    Yep, Adam was a great guy to work with, they even got a Booki developer ( the platform on which the book is called booki ) to come and sit in our sessions so that we could hurl bugs at him and he fixed them in real time :D
