This book fills a void between the many syntax-oriented programming texts that teach readers how to program in C++ with standard I/O (e.g., Deitel) and the relatively few books that assume a knowledge of OOP/C++ and emphasize GUI programming using higher-level frameworks (e.g., Blanchette). There are plenty of books on C++ programming but, with few exceptions, the user interface is constrained to either primitive terminal I/O, or closed-source, non-portable libraries (e.g., Microsoft Foundation Classes).
This book makes extensive use of Nokia`s excellent Qt system.Originally developed by Trolltech, "Qt is a cross-platform C++ application framework developers can use to write single-source applications that run natively on Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X and embedded Linux. Qt has been used to build thousands of successful commercial applications worldwide, and is the basis of the open source KDE desktop environment." Most Linux distributions include a non-commercial version of Qt. In addition Qt is the basis for the standard Linux desktop, KDE and is used by more than an estimated 150,000 open source developers worldwide. isbn 9788131774236
