LinuxWorld editor finds why KDE/Qt coding rocks
Well-known LinuxWorld editor and columnist Nick Petreley has written a column about how he has been "bitten by that programming bug again" and has taken a glowing look at KDE/Qt development. In the process he's found why we like object oriented coding with KDE and how we can accomplish so many tasks in so little time.
Here are some quotes:
"I discovered that Qt actually trains you to think in terms of object-oriented rather than procedural programming. Indeed, spending some time with Qt makes it clear why it is beneficial to write object-oriented code in the first place."
"With Qt, you don't write event loops; you wire together objects."
and
"While you're at it, I recommend that you take a look at a program called KDevelop (see Resources). It's a beauty of a free, integrated KDE and Qt programming environment, and it includes the Qt documentation and tutorial mentioned above."
If you ever wondered how it seems KDE is able to get so many bleeding edge features and functionality in so little time, it's mostly because of the positive aspects of object oriented KDE/Qt development Nick has discovered.
