KDE programming

[eXtremist]

I want to convert some of my old console programs to a GUI. I have no idea about programming a GUI, so I'm looking for help.

Can anyone point me to a good tutorial? I've played around with KDevelop, and I'd like to use that. I just don't know where to start!

Have you considered using Tcl/Tk? I know it's "just" a scripting language but with embedded TK you can use TK scripts in a C program and it's by far the easiest way to a create GUI front-end for not-too-complex text based programs. See eg cdrtoaster.

I'm gonna get flamed for saying this but almost all real programs these days are written in c/c++. There are exceptions of course.
