GTK+ made Qt 

,----[ Quote ]
| To my surprise, that is all that it takes. 
| The QGtkCallbackBridge is a trivial QObject 
| that calls the given function pointer with 
| the QObject::sender() and the given data 
| pointer when signalled. The QGtkEventFilter 
| is not much more complicated. It simply 
| filters out the event in question and 
| triggers the given function pointer in much 
| the same way. I've created a factory for 
| the event filters, as I want them to re-
| create something looking like the original 
| GdkEvent structure. There is actually one 
| event filter class for each type of event, 
| just so that this code can be added.

The Decade of Development

,----[ Quote ]
| Last decade, known by many as the Naughties 
| or Noughties, set the stage for a number of 
| key software development trends. Here is a 
| list of some of the hottest trends that 
| impacted software development.
| 
| [...]
| 
| 2. The Rise of Open Source Software (OSS)
| 
| Open Source Software reached critical mass 
| in the decade of the Noughties. The open 
| source model caught on like wild fire among 
| developers and quickly became adopted by 
| entrepreneurs looking to build companies by 
| providing services for these OSS 
| technologies. And it worked. Marc Fleury 
| founded JBoss around the JBoss application 
| server and later sold the company to Red 
| Hat for more than $350 million. Rod Johnson 
| founded SpringSource around the open-source 
| Spring Framework and last year sold it to 
| VMware for $420 million. VCs saw an 
| opportunity and began to get behind the 
| best and the brightest. And organizations 
| such as the Apache Software Foundation 
| (ASF) and the Eclipse Foundation sprang up 
| to, among other things, foster community 
| involvement in various open-source 
| projects. Although the ASF was founded in 
| 1999, it saw some of its best days in the 
| Noughties.
