Programming With Qt - Kalle Dalheimer Matthias

Résumé :
Qt is a C ++ class library for writing GUI applications that run on Linux, commercial Unix, Windows 95/98, and Windows NT platforms. Qt is much easier to use than the standard Motif toolkit for Unix systems, but at the same time Qt emulates the look-and-feel of Motif. Best of all, after you have written an application with Qt, all you have to do is recompile it to have a version that works on Windows systems. Qt also emulates the look-and-feel of Windows, so you can provide all of your users with native-looking interfaces. In addition to user interface classes, Qt features portable support for file system access, working with date and time values, and network programming. With Qt, you'll find that you need to write very little, if any, platform-dependent code, because Qt already has what you need. While programming with Qt is straightforward and feels natural once you get the hang of it, the learning curve can be steep. Qt comes with excellent reference documentation, but beginners often find the included tutorial is really not enough to get started with Qt. That is where this book steps in. Programming with Qt guides you through the steps of writing a Qt application by showing you how to write a simple paint application. It also helps deepen your understanding of the topics with exercises and fully worked-out answers. Programming with Qt also includes : a tour of all the GUI elements in Qt, along with advice about when and how to use them . a complete explanation of Qt's signal/slot mechanism for connecting user interaction with program functionality . details on the graphics capabilities of Qt, including 2D transformations, double buffering, and advanced image techniques . Material on writing your own Qt widgets.
