General FBReader query

rsperberg · 03-13-2009, 11:58 AM

I'm interested in understanding FBReader and how it works, and so I'm looking for any documentation or any developer information at all that has been written down or diagrammed.

Were any documents generated as part of the process of getting FBReader to work in OpenInkpot? I would much appreciate being pointed to them if that is the case.

Thanks,

There is no documentation.

Hi Roger,

The code is written in a clear, object oriented style and relatively easy to follow. Do you need something specific (support for book formats; screen display; file handling; ...)?

If you are interested in getting a general understanding, well, depending on your knowledge in C++ and STL and your previous experiences with unknown source code it will take some time...

First, I'm looking to follow the flow of the code. My C++ is beginner level, and while "clear" is better than "obtuse" at my level it's not as helpful as "heavily commented." :-)

Even the most rudimentary breakdown of the program would help me confirm I'm looking at the right pieces to start.

Thanks,
Roger

Probably the best idea is to dig into code and then ask in the IRC channel for the stuff which is not clear after investigation.

I did not have a deep look at the soucres, but what I've seen seems pretty understandable.
