Greetings gear heads (I believe we were once called that), First of all, I want to deeply apologize for having dropped the ball on the work to port our tutorials on Techbase to KF5. And I also want to thank Albert for helping me out when I started it.
Anyway, long story short, the five basic tutorials [1] are now based on KF5. They are direct ports based on our own porting guidelines. I didn't change much by way of content or flow except to update the text with the new classes or information. I did, however, take the liberty of renaming two of the tutorials (KActions, KCmdLineArgs) to make them less dependent on deprecated classes. I copied the old KDE4 content to backup pages, now suffixed by "/KDE4". [2] I'm not to keen on simply deleting information like this as they can probably be useful for legacy systems or, at the very least, as historical reference and for comparison. That said, I'm not 100% sure about the accuracy of my ported code, so more eyes are much appreciated. The KIO part (saving and loading files) was particularly tricky as there wasn't a 1:1 equivalent. And KIO and Jobs are still alien to me. The original tutorial also didn't seem to actually save to remote paths, only load from them. Likewise, I didn't either. Feature parity! I'd also like to take the chance to reach out to our translators (hence the CC). I have zero idea on how the pages on the wiki are prepared for translation. Only the first tutorial seems to have translation markers anyway. Hopefully, those tutorials could still be of help. I'm not sure if I'll dip my toes in the other "Basic ones, as some of them are also past my level. I could take it as a chance to learn though. :) -- Regards, Juan Carlos Torres Jucato 1. https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/First_program and successive tutorials 2. https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/First_program/KDE4 >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
