A very poor effort 17 Dec 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book is a total disappointment. Over 100 of the 280 pages are given over to indexes, and material which is covered by the Qt Reference Documention. This leaves only 180 pages on the subject of Programming Qt. Anybody who uses Qt will know that such full featured package could never be covered in so few pages. Consequently, I could not recommend this book to anybody regardless of skill level

Very overpriced and quite disappointing 22 Feb 2001
By Declan Moran - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is unfortunately very overpriced (a fact which didn't stop my cover falling off after a couple of weeks though) and difficult to recommend. The best the book has to offer is an accompanying Cd with a relatively current version (2.1) of Qt, which may be a reason to buy for those with a poor or no internet connection (Downloading qt is an ~ 10M undertaking depending on exactly which version, and although most linux distributions come with a version is currently much earlier (1.4, I believe at present).

The author seems to have tried to write a reference book in 270 pages. Instead I would suggest such books should try to offer introductions and an pedagogical overview as does Solin ("Qt Programming" by Sams), since the online Qt documentation is almost impossible to beat as a reference (what it leaves to be desired is the short complete examples covering the wide spectrum of classes/concepts that Solin achieves).

A very poor effort 17 Dec 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Unfortunately, this book fall short of expectations. It is little more than an overview of the basic funtionality is this wonderful rich featured package. Almost 30 pages of the total 270 pages are given over to Tables listing public and protected member functions all of which can be found in the Qt reference documentation. Appendix A takes up 55 pages of reference material, leaving a mear 180 pages left on the discussion of using Qt. The editorial review states this book contains a discussion of using COM/DCOM. This must have been a mistake since the subject of COM/DCOM is not mentioned anywhere in the book. Clearly, this book does not live up to expectations and there is no it could possibly cover such a vast topic in so few pages. Consequently, I could not recommend this book to anybody regardless of skill level

Waste of money! 7 Nov 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I have the the "Qt Programming for Linux and Windows 2000" by the same author, that was a poorly written book, only 20 percent of the content maybe usefull, I am surprised even such book got published, it raise my doubt about HP Professional Books. The list of Qt classes takes at least 20 percent of that book's content. I would sell mine brand new one for...(just to recover part of my cost).
