hello!

i have done a couple of things in c++ when i came across QT.

did anyone do something seriously with it?

well i know kde is QT but i thought of some smaller "programs" ..

bye. manuel

QT is sweet. It is a very rich toolset and is an excellent portable GUI development library. There are a bunch of new libraries for Windows now and they have a desktop version QTopia which is nice.

I've been coding with WxWidgets, but once kde4 and qt4 are final, I'll give them a shot, sounds like a good time to look for some tuts.

I'm starting to look at the Qt modules for perl.

What I do know besides that is that my kubuntu distro didn't come with the right qt libs and I had to go find them all myself, which upset me greatly.

Has anyone found any qt tutorials, by the way?

I heard that QT4 will be even faster. With QT and C++ you can produce very effective and fast apps. Something with the change in QT4: it will enable KDE to be ported to Windows and Mac So you won't have too many problems proting your apps

I just start using Qt4 it's very sweet because you have a lot different Classes already build and don't have to look for one.
But I'm missing security features for QFTP (TLS/SSL) or any other at all...
QCA2 can give it to you but I haven't tried it yet

I've heard really good things of QT technically and kioslaves seem to be slightly better more behaved than gnomevfs, but in the end the shear kludgyness of KDE drives me to use gnome/gtk stuff instead. For a typical example look at the menu bar on konqeror. I have high hopes for KDE4 though,

If you're looking to get into handheld PC development on Linux, Qt is a good bet. The Zaurus may have been ahead of its time, but unfortunately a lot of things are (look at DEC -- should've beat out IBM in the PC wars on their architecture alone)... The really nice thing about Qt is the quick UI development, in my opinion, as well as the portability and the reusable widgets. I dont' know why but in ways it reminds me a lot of the fondness I felt for Smalltalk (could be the ease of widget design).

Sorry I'm being vague. Four nights up straight and I probably should be sleeping.

Good luck.
