Description
The goal of this talk is to motivate people to make native Linux applications and to help them use KDE Frameworks to create them. The talk is split into two parts: showcase and examples.
The first part focuses on showing what you could accomplish using KDE Frameworks, providing real life examples in and out of KDE. The second part focuses on helping developers not too familiar with KDE, C++, or the Linux ecosystem, avoid common pitfalls when setting up the frameworks and when readying their apps for distribution.
