On Linux, is Kylix better than Qt?

1). Is using Kylix a better proposition than using Qt for developing GUI based client server Applications on Linux?

2). What are good online sites for help on Kylix IPC/networking programming?

1)
kylix is (object-)pascal. qt is afaik only available for C/C++. If you are already using kylix, you don´t need qt. Imho none is better or worse, it´s a matter of choice. For a beginner i recommend kylix. it´s a complete RAD tool.

2)
in kylix you use the same classes like in delphi, so any delphi page should be of great help. there is 1000s on the net.

A short excerpt from my links collection:

community.borland.com - very good start! become a member (for free) to be able to download 1000s of code snippets and tutorials for delphi and kylix
www.torry.ru - just great.
delphi.about.com - also a great site. Zarko is a really good teacher / writer. And it has a special area about kylix
www.delphizine.com - iirc not for free, but some older articles are
www.delphicity.net - can´t remember what this one was about

all of them should have a link list to provide you with many other urls.

Hirsch,

Thanks a lot for the reply.The links were useful.

FYI - Kylix 1 & 2 were object pascal. With the release of Kylix3 you have two IDEs. You can fire up a "Delphi" Kylix or a "C++ Builder" Kylix.

Since the "Delphi" Kylix has been out for a few years, it is more stable and there are a lot more code examples. The "C++ Builder" Kylix was just released a few months back and users have found several bugs especially with the Qt headers. I don't know if this problem affects the Linux side, but I know users are having trouble making truly portable code that compiles on both Windows and Linux (click here).

I've just started using Kylix3 and like it a lot. I've never programmed using Qt, so I can't give an opinion.

I was in the bookstore yesteday and saw the following book on the shelf:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A...7871049-8972950

It had 59 pages on IPC programming. I don't know how easy it would be to find a copy in Bangalore but I thought I would mention it anyway....
