Open Content KDE Developer's Book

A book called KDE 2.0 Development will be available online and in print starting in early November. Until then you can find prerelease versions of a KParts chapter by David Faure and an abridged KDE API reference on Andamooka. The book will be published under the Open Publication License.

KDE 2.0 Development was written by me and several people from the KDE community:

• Kurt Granroth
• Cristian Tibirna
• David Faure
• Espen Sand
• Stefan Westerfeld
• Ralf Nolden
• Daniel Marjama"ki
• Charles Bar-Joseph
• with a forward by Matthias Ettrich

We hope that this will help current KDE developers learn about the new KDE 2.0 technologies/APIs as well as encourage new developers to try working with KDE.

The entire book will be available for online and offline reading and will be subject to section-by-section, moderated, community annotation. This should help to keep the information current and accurate while still keeping it organized.

Finally, translations of the book have begun: Joelle Cornavin (French), Pattara Kiatisevi (Thai), and André Goddard Rosa (Portuguese). Please contact me or one of them if you are interested in helping with translation.
