State-of-the-art graphical applications for Linux, UNIX, and Windows!

For software developers, it's the holy grail: write one state-of-the-art graphical application that reaches all your key markets: Linux, UNIX, and Windows. Qt Programming for Linux and Windows shows experienced C++ programmers how to do just that, using the powerful new Qt toolkits-the same tools used to build the #1 Linux graphical user interface, KDE!

• Discover what you can do with Qt 2 Free Edition-and what requires TrollTech's Qt Professional License
• Master the Qt Toolkit and programming environment
• Understand Qt's signal/slot mechanism and framework for component-based development
• Review Qt's visual objects, convenience objects, and extensions
• Qt object reuse and internationalization techniques
• Incorporating Qt in Rapid Application Development processes

Long-time Qt developer Patrick Ward provides exclusive, in-depth coverage of Qt programming in Microsoft Windows environments: interfacing with Microsoft APIs, working with DDE servers and COM/DCOM, even Qt 2 development for Windows 2000.

If you're ready to build great graphical applications, build them fast, and run them anywhere, one book will show you how: Qt Programming for Linux and Windows 2000!
