Welcome to KDE TechBase
Welcome to the TechBase Wiki! This site contains the information developers need to use KDE Frameworks and application libraries for their own software projects. Here you will find tutorials and guides for using KDE Frameworks to create rich and well-behaved Qt applications, Plasma and KWin API for writing applets and scripts, Marble API to provide mapping functionality for your product, and more.
If you're interested in getting involved in KDE, please head over to the Community Wiki to see the different ways to contribute and be part of the community.
