Agreed. The KDE2 book was really useful at the time but it is just too out of 
date now.

It would also be nice to have some pre-generated pch files for kde libs that 
can be imported into qt-creator. I know these are relatively simple to 
generate from the source but again it would reduce another barrier to entry 
for would-be KDE developers.

Kind regards,
