Great code base
by Martin on Sunday 03/Dec/2006, @12:19

A student I know was given the task of writing a spreadsheet application that had a special function "foo" (I can't remember what it was). I suggested instead that he implement foo on top of Kspread. He was enthusiastic when I showed him the beautiful code structure. I don't think anything came out of this one, but the sheer beauty of some of the code in KDE makes it almost as appealing to add to KDE as starting from scratch ;-). In addition, you get to solve some new problems rather than reinventing the wheel, and your code potentially gets out in the real world.

For these reasons, I think KDE should be a first choice for programming projects in universities everywhere.
