| - | EDE main development language is C++ and the GUI toolkit is [[http://www.fltk.org|FLTK]]. Because FLTK does not provide needed requirements for one desktop environment, EDE comes with own additional library called ''edelib''. You can see edelib as kdelib for KDE, but much much smaller one :) | + | ''EDE'''s main development language is //C++// and the GUI toolkit used is [[http://www.fltk.org|FLTK]]. Since ''FLTK'' does not provide some functions required for a desktop environment, ''EDE'' comes with its own additional library called ''edelib''. You could compare ''edelib'' with ''kdelib'' from ''KDE'', just much, much smaller! :) |
| - | If you ever used FLTK before, you already know the large part or EDE and edelib design as they resembles much of FLTK approach. If not, development with FLTK is extremely simple.
