Now covers Qt 4.7/4.6

Master C++ “The Qt Way,” with Modern Design Patterns and Efficient Reuse

This fully updated book teaches C++ “The Qt Way,” emphasizing design patterns and efficient reuse. Readers will master both the C++ language and Nokia Qt 4.7/4.6 libraries, as they learn to develop software with well-defined code layers and simple, reusable classes and functions.

Every chapter of this edition has been improved with new content, better organization, or both. Notably, readers will find extensively revised coverage of Widgets, MainWindows, Models and Views, Databases, and Dynamic Forms. This edition introduces the powerful new Qt Creator IDE; presents new multimedia techniques; and offers extended coverage of Qt Designer. It has been restructured to help readers start writing software immediately and write robust, effective software sooner, as well.

The authors introduce several new design patterns, add many quiz questions and labs, and present more efficient solutions relying on new Qt features and best practices. They also provide an up-to-date C++ reference section and a complete application case study.
