We have a wide<BR>range of knowledge from those who are new to Linux to<BR>those who are experts. We welcome all levels of<BR>experience here.<BR><BR>As for your Qt/KDevelop question, Qt is available as a<BR>free and commercial version. Both versions are<BR>identical in what they can do, you just pay if you<BR>want to sell a closed source Qt basedproduct. For free<BR>software its totally free.<BR><BR>KDevelop does not come with Qt as such, but it is<BR>written in Qt and if use KDevelop you will have the Qt<BR>libraries on your system. To program with Qt, you will<BR>need the development software for Qt. The best way to<BR>get this is to install a qt-dev package for your Linux<BR>distro or download and compile the source code.<BR><BR>Qt is a great framework for writing software and I use<BR>it a lot. I am happy to answer any questions
on it in<BR>the future - just post them to the list or ask at<BR>meetings. Good luck!<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR><BR>Jono<BR><BR>PS - As for a VB lke app for Linux, Qt comes with a<BR>interface designer for creating your interfaces<BR>graphically, and then you apply the code in your<BR>project.<BR><BR>--- Mo Awkati <MAWKATI@YAHOO.CO.UK>wrote:<BR>> Hi Jono<BR>> <BR>> I am not sure to be honest.

I borrowed a book from the library<BR>> about programming Linux, and I am also trying to<BR>> learn C++ so I could use KDevelop. I do have a<BR>> question though, does Qt come with KDevelop or do I<BR>> have to buy it? From what I have seen Qt is quite<BR>> expensive, is there an open source there an<BR>> alternative for creating applications for Linux
