Cross-platform development is a kind of holy grail, and Trolltech's Qt

toolkit may well be the most promising solution yet to this development

challenge. Qt is widely used for the development of GUI applications as

well as console tools and servers, and it's especially appealing to

programmers who need to write cross-platform applications to run on

Linux/Unix, Mac, and Windows machines without having to rewrite for each

platform. The Book of Qt 4 offers an in-depth explanation of Qt 4 that

goes beyond the common focus on Cprogramming. Author Daniel Molkentin

uses practical examples to explain features like the signal/slot concept

and the event system, as he guides you through developing applications

with and without Qt's graphical GUI builder, Qt Designer. And as a core

KDE developer, Molkentin's head is full of real-world problems and

solutions that he peppers liberally throughout The Book of Qt 4, making

it a resource that you'll consult time and again. You'll find coverage

of:

- Tools for creating dialogs

- GUI design with the Qt Designer

- Widget layout and dialog construction

- Data visualization using Qt's model/view concept

- The QtSql module and the graphics library Arthur

- File handling, XML, processes, and network connections

- Databases and threading

- Event handling and using drag and drop

- Internationalization and debugging As well as lots of useful hints

on how to use Qt's datatypes, containers, and algorithms and how to

develop user-friendly applications. Whether you're already a Qt

developer or you're just considering Qt for cross-platform development,

you'll find The Book of Qt 4 to be indispensable
