Useful resources to make your development journey easier
Most KDE software is written in C++ using the Qt toolkit and KDE Frameworks. Though prior experience with these technologies or other programming languages is helpful, you don't need to be a C++ programmer to get started! For example, no programming knowledge whatsoever is required to do things like improving text labels.
If you'd like to dive deeper into it:
- The Qt wiki contains a list of online books for learning Qt programming.
- Qt also provides lots of examples you can look at.
- For visual learners, this YouTube playlist of QML tutorials by KDE patron KDAB may be useful.
- The reference API documentation for KDE Frameworks can be found on the KDE API website.
- KDE also provides a curated wiki page full of learning resources.
