C++ Gui Programming With Qt 3

"...not only the best book on Qt I have ever seen, but also the best book presenting any programming framework. Every sentence appears to be carefully worded, and every chapter has a sound concept, and so does the work as a whole."--Matthias Ettrich, Trolltech's lead developer, founder of the KDE project"The 'Tao of Qt'.... The Qt system is a beautiful example of object oriented design, and the authors take advantage of this.... The authors have done an excellent job of presenting the subject in an interesting and engaging way...."--Ron McCarty, Instructor and Chair of the Department of Computer Science, Penn State Erie, The Behrend CollegeThe first official Trolltech guide to Qt 3.2 programming!Straight from Trolltech, this book covers all you need to build industrial-strength applications with Qt 3.2.x and C++--applications that run natively on Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, and embedded Linux with no source code changes! The book teaches solid Qt programming practices; it is not a rehash of the documentation.
