<h1>Credits</h1> |
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Community</h2> |
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Thanks to all the users sending me bug reports and spending a lot of time testing the software and reproducing bugs and helping with the releases. |
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
Thanks for the numerous test cases I received and which I could hardly unearth myself. I know how painful it is to strip |
|
|
every trace of intellectual property. Development would be impossible without that effort. |
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
And finally: thanks for not stopping to bug me ... :-) |
|
|

<h2>Tools</h2> |

KLayout won't be there if there was not a basis I could build upon. |
|
|
I have some companions and it's time to mention them here ... |

<h3>Qt</h3> |
|
|
<p><a href="http://qt-project.org">http://qt-project.org</a></p> |
|
|
<p>The ultimate framework. Portable, comprehensible, fast, complete, ... There is little you will miss |
|
|
and much to discover. Dedicated to open source development, extensibility and in many ways a reference for |
|
|
coding quality. My reliable companion for more than a decade now. A+ rating, at least. |

<h3>Trac</h3> |
|
|
<p><a href="http://trac.edgewall.org">http://trac.edgewall.org</a></p> |
|
|
<p>Lightweight, fast and complete issue tracking, Wiki collaboration platform and lean project management. |
|
|
Perfect integration with Subversion. My faithful tracker since many years. What else do you need? |
|

<h3>gvim</h3> |
|
|
<p><a href="http://www.vim.org">http://www.vim.org</a></p> |
|
|
<p>I've tried them all: Visual Studio, Eclipse and all the others. VIM looks like last century, but |
|
|
I'm missing something without it. Maybe the busy sound of little beeps? Or the fingers gliding smoothly over the keyboard, |
|
|
knowing every key has at least a second purpose? <tt>/this[Esc]cwsomethingelse[Esc]n.n.n.n.</tt> ... don't care about the mouse or |
|
|
the RSI syndrome. |
|
|
</p> |
|
|
<p>Love it or hate it. I'll choose the first. |

<h3>Ruby</h3> |
|
|
<p><a href="https://www.ruby-lang.org">https://www.ruby-lang.org</a></p> |
|
|
<p>No more hacking Perl, no more cursing Tcl ... just the language you need. Almost a Zen experience. Consistent, |
|
|
lean, simple. A gem among the scripting languages and truly the programmer's best friend. |

<h3>Subversion</h3> |

|
<p>Yes, I know, there is the great other tool. But what if I'm not a whole community? I'll just stay with subversion - |
|
|
lean, simple and stable. Never had a fail in ten years and well, it's okay I can't delete anything. |

<h3>Valgrind</h3> |

<p>Definitely essential. Memory checker, performance analyzer, debugger ... one tool for all and |
|
|
no rebuilding. Amazing tool which helped me out of trouble in more than one case. Any have a look at |
|
|
<a href="http://kcachegrind.sourceforge.net">KCachegrind</a> for an amazing experience of performance |
|
|
analysis. |

<p>Commerical tool with a heart for open source projects. They provide access to their static code analysis |
|

engine for registered open source projects. Amazingly powerful, C++ aware and easy to use. |

CSS and PHP. |
