Hagfors, Sweden/Bangalore, India (Nov 04, 2008) - Klarälvdalens
Datakonsult AB (KDAB) and VCreate Logic (VCL) today released the KD
Components Framework (KDCF), the initial commercial version of the
award-winning Generic Components Framework (GCF). Packages can now be
ordered from KDAB's website at www.kdab.com.
KDCF provides developer tools to compose applications as collections
of components, thus fostering good application architecture, design,
and maintainability. In particular, KDCF supports loading of UI and
non-UI components from shared libraries, UI merging and component
configuration, component discovery, and ActiveX and KParts
integration. "While Qt provides a terrific way of creating advanced
user interfaces, designing the architecture of complex applications
has traditionally been hard for many organizations. KDCF structures
the application into a set of reusable, independently loadable
components and encourages thus reuse of those components. This will
make it possible even for smaller applications to achieve stable,
extensible application architectures.", says Matthias Kalle Dalheimer,
President and CEO of KDAB.
KDCF is a proven solution and well-accepted in the Free Software
world. With GCF, the objective was to introduce an open-source "robust
component application architecture" into the Qt ecosystem. As a GPL
library it offers value to free-software developers, who in-turn
provide valuable feedback and code to make GCF even better. “"Having
adopted GCF within our own products and in the products we developed
for our customers and after hearing feedback from the open-source
community, it was clear that GCF would be immensely valuable to
commercial software developers as well. We are very happy that KDAB is
bringing GCF to the commercial world. Up-to now we were providing GCF
as a GPL library and were licensing it for commercial use to customers
that purchased consulting services from us. With KDCF, we are very
happy that the product can now serve a much larger market."”, says
Prashanth N Udupa, Founder and Managing Director of VCreate Logic.
While GCF will continue to be available under GPL Version 2 and 3,
commercial software developers can now leverage KDCF within their
products.
KDAB is extremely happy to provide developers with a turn-key solution
for component development. For more information or to request a quote, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
