C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3 Summary

C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3 by Jasmin Blanchette

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.
