Synopsis

Appropriate for all courses in Qt or KDE programming.

C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3 is the first official TrollTech guide to Qt 3.x programming. In this book, two TrollTech insiders provide students all they need to build industrial-strength applications with Qt 3.x and C++: applications that can run natively on Windows, Linux/Unix, Solaris, Mac OS X, and embedded Linux with no source code changes. The book teaches through example, and covers every facet of Qt 3 programming, ranging from basic user interfaces and layout managers to 2D/3D graphics, drag-and-drop, signaling, networking, XML, database integration, even internationalization and multithreading. The coverage will be appropriate for students at all levels of Qt expertise; students planning to build either open source or commercial applications; and students who wish to develop for Windows without purchasing an expensive compiler. C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3 is part of Bruce Perens Open Source Series, edited by Bruce Perens, one of the worlds leading authorities on open source technologies.

Book Overview:

Many companies are facing problems with Windows development using traditional Windows tools such as Visual Studio. When they write applications, even just single platform applications for Windows, they often have to account for differences between different Windows versions, which adds hassle to development and maintenance. Qt works no matter the Windows versions. This book provides all the information needed to become a professional Qt developer. The book also covers cross platform GUI programming--programmers can be working on Windows, Linux, or Mac and the book will work for them. This is useful for commercial companies that use Qt, and for companies that are evaluating Qt. It will also be valuable to the vast number of open source developers who already use Qt since no other book of comparable quality or comprehensiveness is available. This book teaches Qt's idioms and how to use Qt to best advantage. The book is organized into four parts. The first part introduces the C++ necessary for the effective use of Qt. The second part covers basic Qt, starting with some very short examples, and quickly building up to a complete Graphical User Interface program. The second part provides coverage of key Qt features including signals. The third and fourth parts cover more advanced and specialized material.
