Product Description

Review

"This is a very well-written book, and a worthwhile read for all but the most advanced Qt programmers. It requires knowledge of C++, but QT concepts are brought up from a basic level and are easy to get to grips with." Verdict: Considering the freely available reference material this is probably the only Qt book you will ever need to buy. 9/10 Linux Format, August 2002

Major Keary, AUSOM & AUSOM News, June 2002

"If you want to use Qt, or just know what it can do, this is essential reading."

Good for starters 15 Oct 2004
Format:Paperback
It's a good book if you have absolutely no idea about Qt, but it probably won't help you if you want insight in more advanced or subtle Qt. There are better books about Qt, and more current (this one is getting a bit old, even more with Qt4).

excellent book for learning Qt 13 Aug 2002
By Elwood C. Downey - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I hesitated to buy this after reading the negative reviews here. I am glad I did. It is exactly what I needed. It touches on the necessary basics of C++, event driven programming and covers how to download and install the Qt environment in the first chapter. The second is Hello World, the next few are guided tours of the major widgets, then some 20+ more chapters cover Qt by topic because it is much more than a GUI toolkit. The style is succinct yet easy to absorb. It took me about two days to read through it carefully. In that brief time now I just use the online Qt help for detail info.

Very good book 26 Oct 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I am new to Linux programming (I'm a .Net developer) and was a bit frustrated with the online tutorials for Qt and decided to give this book a try. I am very happy with the decision, this book is very well written. I like the style of the author, giving us some practical exercises after each topic, so we can improve the application he develops throughout the book (a "paintbrush"). Now that I understood the basics I can use the Qt documentation to do my own apps.

People who like those huge, "step-by-step" ("click File->Quit to exit the application...") books might be a bit disappointed with this one though, the author assumes that the reader knows some C++ and can figure out some stuff by himself/herself, so be warned. Not that he skips any information needed, but he doesn't repeat the same thing 10x either, so you gotta be a bit "smart" to read this book.

Handy Programming Help 9 Aug 2002
By Oliver Ruf - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I find this book is very good. It provides quick help while programming, gives a lot of ideas how to solve problems, and a quick overview how the most common problems have to be dealt with.
But - yes, there is a 'but' - it is definitively not a book about GUI programming, it's about QT! If you are familiar with GUI development, such as java/swing programming or similar, and you are also familiar with C++, this book can be a great help for development.
