The Ubuntu Documentation Project

12.

This documentation lists alphabetically the software development applications available in the Kubuntu repository and gives a brief description of each, written at the beginner's level.

13.

Since the line between text editors (TE), Integrated Development Environments (IDE) and Graphical User Interface Rapid Application Development (GUI RAD) tools have blurred with the inclusion of plugin technologies in nearly all of the tools, those dichotomies have become less significant. Therefore, the tools will be presented in alphabetical order.

16.

<application>Bluefish</application> is a powerful editor targeted towards programmers and web designers, with many options to write websites, scripts and programming code. Bluefish supports many programming and markup languages, and it focuses on editing dynamic and interactive websites. Bluefish is an open source development project, released under the GNU GPL license. Bluefish runs on most (maybe all?) POSIX compatible operating systems including Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS-X, OpenBSD and Windows. Bluefish supports 16 of the most commonly used languages and scripting tools and is one of the more fully featured IDE's available. It specializes in being very fast and with a huge multi-document capability. Some tools do web development and some are simple coding IDE's. Bluefish can do both at once on multiple projects and keep them separate.

<application>Boa Constructor</application> is a cross platform Python IDE (Integrated Development Environment) and wxPython GUI (Graphical User Interface) Builder. It offers visual frame creation and manipulation, an object inspector, many views on the source like object browsers, inheritance hierarchies, doc string generated html documentation, an advanced debugger and integrated help. It includes Zope support: Object creation and editing, cut, copy, paste, import and export. Property creation and editing in the Inspector and Python Script debugging. Boa Constructor is written in Python, uses Python as its language, and uses the wxPython library which wraps wxWindows.

Boa-Constructor is under slow development at version 0.6.1, having taken five years to rise from 0.4.3. At that rate it will take another 10 years for version 1.0 to be released. Part of the slow development problem is that Boa-Constructor is a mix of several different projects (Python, wxPython, etc...), each having their own development schedules. Python itself has undergone a radical version change to 3.0. Co-ordination of these projects can be problematic or show stopping. There are no usable apps built with Boa-Constructor in the repository and none can be found on the Internet.
