KDE 4.2 and Qt 4.4.3 Workshop is scheduled to be held on Sat, November 8 at 4:30pm.

KDE 4 is not just a version, it is a new vision. There are multiple technologies at play. What we have done is create rich graphical views to help understand the technology. Since our focus is to kickstart interest in developing KDE apps, there will be hell of lot of code to see and figure out :-)

• KDE 4.2 architecture
• Qt 4.4.3 overview
• Overview of Multiplatform capabilities
• Solid (hardware device integration framework)
• Oxygen (style guide and icon set)
• Plasma (new desktop and panel UI tool)
• Phonon (Multimedia infrastructure)
• ThreadWeaver (multi-core programming library)
• Kross (scripting framework)
• Decibel and Telepathy (VoIP, IM and streaming framework)
