Overview

• To learn KDE programming, first read this:

http://developer.kde.org/~wheeler/cpp-pitfalls.html

• Know how you can get help: Whenever you have a KDE class and want the KDE documentation for it, point your konqueror to kde:KApplication (in case you want help for the class KApplication). For the Qt class QApplication, you can point your konqueror to qt:QApplication.
