KDE, the K Desktop Environment, is one of the most popular Linux desktop environments. Having a strong foundation of Qt and written in C++ KDE is very good for GUI application development on Linux.
[edit] Tools
The Linux environment has always had great development tools and so does KDE.
Tools provided:
- KDevelop is an IDE for developing not only KDE but other applications in other languages as well.
- GUI designers (KDE and Qt), bug checking tools (KBugBuster), profilers (KCacheGrind), translation tools (KBabel and Qt Linguist)
- KDE uses Subversion for source control.
- KDE4 is based on the CMake build system.
[edit] Versions
The next major version of KDE will be 4.0:
The aim of the KDE project for the 4.0 release is to put the foundations in place for future innovations on the Free Desktop. The many newly introduced technologies incorporated in the KDE libraries will make it easier for developers to add rich functionality to their applications, combining and connecting different components in any way they want.[1]
