I want to begin programming for KDE 4.

What would I need to learn? C++ / Qt 4? Does KDE 4 have it's own libraries I would need to learn?

C++ / Qt 4?

QT4, certainly. Not necessarily C++; there are python Qt4 & KDE4 bindings, and CLI bindings for mono too, I think.

Yes, depending on what you want to do.

So does KDE 4 programs (Amarok 2, KMail, etc.) use Qt to design / create their own programs, or do they use KDE 4 libraries made WITH qt to create these programs?

Any good tutorials / books?

A bit of both. Qt is a widget library + all sorts of other things. You can create apps using only Qt, but it doesn't provide lots of other services that KDE provides, like pop-up notifications or sound-events, etc. Amarok 2 uses both Qt and KDE-specific libraries (like *Plasma*).

I don't know any KDE/Qt tutorials.

Whoah I just realized I posted this in the wrong section, sorry. Could an admin move this thread?

Any tutorials / guides / contact info for someone that knows C++ / Qt, anything! Would be helpful!

Probably a good start for questions is the kde forums. forum.kde.org

Techbase is definitely worth browsing, too:
