I. Developing Applications with the Evolution Calendar

This part of the Evolution Developer's Guide describes how to write applications for the Evolution Calendar by using its public interfaces. The Evolution Calendar exports its functionality through a number of interfaces, including CORBA, GTK+ wrappers for Bonobo objects, and other utility libraries. This part also describes the internals of the calendar so that it will be easy for you to make changes to Evolution's core code.

You should read this part of the Evolution Developer's guide if you intend to write client applications that use the functionality of the Evolution Calendar, such as its storage interfaces and generic recurrence engine. If you intend to make changes to the calendar's core code, it will be useful to read the sections on the calendar internals as well. Even if you do not intend to modify the core code of the calendar, it may be useful to know a few things about the way it works so that you can make better use of the public interfaces.
