From kde-devel Fri Nov 10 06:07:53 2000 From: David Sweet Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2000 06:07:53 +0000 To: kde-devel Subject: KDE 2.0 Development is online X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-devel&m=97383614325574 KDE 2.0 Development, a new book being published by MacMillan/SAMS under the Open Publication License is now available online, in full, for free, at http://kde20development.andamooka.org The site also holds all of the source code from the examples in the book, downloadable HTML and PDF versions, an annotated online-only abridged KDE API reference (Appendix B), and an annotated version of the KDE Developer's HOWTO. The host site is part of Andamooka which runs web software that lets visitors annotate and discuss each section of the book and view the annotation along with the original text. This site will serve as an "open support" system for readers of the book. The book is written for C++ programmers with or without previous KDE coding experience. It covers introductory KDE/Qt programming, KDE UI design, KParts, DCOP, aRts, XML GUI, KDevelop, licensing issues, CVS, code and end-user documentation, and more. Many chapters are written by contributing authors who have helped design and/or implement the systems about which they wrote. These authors are: Kurt Granroth (also technical editor), Cristian Tibirna, David Faure, Espen Sand, Stefan Westerfeld, Ralf Nolden, Daniel Marjamaki, and Charles Bar-Joseph, and a forward was written by Matthias Ettrich. Since the book is released under the Open Publication License, it may be modified and redistributed online, which means that the book can be maintained (fixed, updated, expanded etc.) in the style of a free software project. In this spirit, volunteer translation of the book into five other languages has already begun. I welcome any other feedback or contributions to the maintainance and development of the book. Everything that is incorporated into official versions of the book will be released under the Open Publication License electronically and for free.
