Take these two tutorials, if you want to learn how to use KParts components in KDE. The first in the series, <a href=http://www-105.ibm.com/developerworks/education.nsf/linux-onlinecourse-bytitle/A96500917FA1DB0786256BC000808C0F?Open&t=gr,lnxw43=Kparts1>Creating KParts components Part 1, covers read-only, read-write parts and network transparency. The new tutorial, <A href=http://www-105.ibm.com/developerworks/education.nsf/linux-onlinecourse-bytitle/380CD6A86A7ACDBE86256BD50078C711?Open&t=gr,lnxw43=KParts2>Creating KParts components Part 2, covers the KDE Trader, user interface merging, and the Part Manager. Both are well-written and will get you creating KParts components for KDE in no time at all. [Ed: One-time free site registration.]

I find the IBM developerWorks webpages very interesting for all kinds of information. This might sound a vague argument, but you'll never know until you tried it yourself. The registration is only minor inconvenience if you consider what you get for free in return.

I tend to look at *why* I'm registering. In this case, it's pretty much to track to see if this series is popular enough to continue. As such, I'm more than happy to register... and encourage other developers to register as well. -- Evan

I hope they aren't killing interest in the series due to the registration thing. Look at LinuxToday and LWN neither of them have linked these series so far.

Registration is a pain. Registering once for one site is ok, but you're asked to register for so many things nowadays on the net, it's ridiculous. You end up having to manage several userids and passwords and for what? Non-secure content and no added value. If you're IBM, what are the advantages of having your users sign-up anyway? You can be sure that most of the information collected is made up or redundant (I must have signed up three times over the past couple of years for the NYTimes on-line; how much fake personal info can they handle?) Have people register if you want to provide extra services to registered users (archives and what-nots...) otherwise just forget about it. It makes the web less usable.

I am not sure IBM developerWorks gives permission to redistribute. Did you check this?
