The first official Trolltech guide to Qt 3.2 programming!
Straight from Trolltech, this book covers all you need to build industrial-strength
applications with Qt 3.2.x and C++--applications that run natively on Windows,
Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, and embedded Linux with no source code changes! The book
teaches solid Qt programming practices; it is not a rehash of the documentation.
You'll find start-to-finish coverage packed with examples, plus a CD with the
Qt 3.2 toolset and Borland C++ compilers--including a non-commercial Qt 3.2
for Windows available nowhere else!
- Build powerful C++ GUI applications quickly and easily
- Design dialogs and main windows visually and in code
- Learn Qt's innovative typesafe signals and slots mechanism
- Use layouts to create forms that automatically size and scale
- Create custom signals, slots, events, and controls
- Program the ''Qt way'' with techniques for Qt 3.2 that'll work with Qt 4
- Code applications with menus, toolbars, dialogs, and drag and drop
- Utilize 2D and 3D graphics, multithreading, and networking
- Write database and XML applications
- Internationalize to reach foreign markets
- Exploit platform-specific-features like ActiveX

Qt Expertise In 168 Hours Or Less
Covers all the major and most of the minor parts of Qt, including a great many of the traps and pitfalls unwary users can fall into. I was able to get up and running and coding in Qt in less than a week using just this manual. If you want to Qt, GET THIS BOOK.

Simply the best money can buy
If anyone is seriously interested in power-packed programming using high-performance open source tools like Qt which is used by large corporations including IBM, then look no further than this official book sanctioned by the original developers, Trolltech. It covers everything from head to tail to ensure that you get what you want exactly. Definitely a worthwhile investment!
