SLED12 moved to Gnome3, Ubuntu Unity8 moves to QT?!
Hi there,
Last year or so i have been studying some C# in a spare time.
Since i also want to write a gui for adtool to have some kind of RSAT->ADUC for Linux one day. First i discovered Mono. But then i discovered its only Open Source for Educational purposes.
Now recentely i also have been, again (played with it already years back), trough some Dreamweaver basics, and this year i am about to take a look at some WebDev stuff, a lilbit of Drupal and some PHP maybe.
And recentely i discovered Vala (has C# like syntax), which sounds awesome, so this is why i started reading about GObject, on which it works.
As i understand Dreamweaver gives the way to Drupal because you cant really somewhat click around and create a good structure of a website. Thats also the reason, i suppose, why frameworks like ROR/Django are al the rage nowadays. Now after reading wikipedia article about GObject, which is actually quite interesting, because it talks about/somewhat compares the famous C++ and C#, and gives some little more idea on them.
I tought of GObject as also kind of something inbetween a library and a framework. If it may be tought of in those terms.
So then it looks like, if you see how forks of Gnome Shell become quite popular (Cinnamon/Pantheon-Elementary), and i dont really see like many KDE based anything? That maybe indeed GObject as a certain structure/model that gives posibility/makes it easier to actually programm GUI. Maybe QT gives the way to Gnome3 with its GObject same way Dreamweaver-like things give way to Drupal/Frameworks.
Now if that is true i can understand why Suse switched to Gnome3.
But what is the strategy about Ubuntu Unity8 move to QT then? That i have been hearing about. Something i have not tought of yet? Or just not a best decision maybe?
Thanks in advance,
Sorry for a bit longer post,
Nikolai
