The following pages contain documentation about KDE's design and architecture in detail. They do not replace other documentation like API documentation, tutorials/howtos and standards, see the development portal for further information.

For a better understanding it might help to be familiar with Nokia's™ excellent Qt documentation and Developer Zone.

More information about a KDE installation itself is available in the dedicated section for system administrators.
