<H1>Welcome To KDevelop!</H1>
<H2>Welcome to the KDevelop Integrated Development Environment</H2>
<P>The KDevelop IDE has been designed by the KDevelop Team to provide an
easy-to-use environment for C/C++ programmers. With all its
features the current version contains all the programming knowledge
of the team, which has been collected together to add a set of
documentation handbooks that will help beginners as well as experts master
all the functions of their IDE. We hope to provide you with the
environment you need and one that you enjoy using for the creation of
applications that contribute to the K Desktop Environment and the free software
community, as well as for any commercial purpose.
<P>Currently, the KDevelop Documentation spans over four handbooks full of
well written, informative and understandable text that will
enable you to start developing your applications with confidence:
