Title: Sams Teach Yourself Qt Programming in 24 Hours (Teach Yourself -- 24 Hours) by Daniel Solin ISBN: 0672318695 Publisher: Sams Pub. Date: 19 May, 2000 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $29.99 |

Summary: Better than I thought
Comment: There are not that many books available for QT so I had to settle on this Sams Title. I usually dislike these "Teach yourself ... in 24 hours or 1 hour or 2 minutes..." books, but this one is fantastic. This book assumes C and C++ experience. If you only know C but also have a good understanding of Object Oriented Programming, then you'll be fine. The chapters are brief but very effective and there are great exercises at the end of each chapter.
I recommend this book to anyone who needs to learn more about QT.

Summary: Don't judge the book by it's cover.
Comment: Before I went out to buy this book, I visited the publisher's and Amazon web sites because I was feeling apprehensive about how trivial a 24 hour Teach Yourself series get. After I had gone through the review, I feel that there is hope in learning C++ GUI development after all. Qt and Daniel, the author give beginners as a programmer a chance to shine. I attempted Visual C++ with a couple of books, and nothing came close to a good concept as portrayed as Qt and Daniel as a wonderful writer. I agree with one of the reviewers before me, there should be a CD consists of Qt GUI tools software bundled with it.
I gave it 5 stars because it's easy to follow, which I presume people with some basic C++ programming background would be interested in purchasing this book and this book covers alot. I'm going to look into a more detailed book by the same author which is also on sale and listed on Amazon if I'm not mistaken.

Summary: Gets you off the ground
Comment: If you are new to GUI programming in general or Qt programming in particular, this book will get you off the ground and running towards writing your own Qt applications. It is clearly written with many simple examples that illustrate how to use the basic Qt tools. The book also has exercises at the end of each chapter as well as several "hooks" to get you to check the official online Qt docs. I would have given the book full marks if the author hadn't wasted chapters on specific tasks such as programming for KDE, using OpenGL, or programming Netscape plugins. If you are interested in these tasks, it's a 5-star book, but I would have preferred a couple of advanced chapters covering Qt's built-in threading classes or other less task-specific topics.
Note that this book is basically a "stepping stone" to get you going from scratch. After you've finished this book, you will likely not refer to it as much as the official Qt documentation that trolltech provides with most Qt packages. I recommend that beginners start with this book, and then move on to try the tutorial "cannon" program that comes with the official docs.
