Advanced Qt Programming: Creating Great Software with C++ and Qt 4

Take your Qt programming to the next level: master Qts most powerful APIs, application patterns, and development best practices! Advanced coverage available in no other Qt book, including coverage of Qt WebKit hybrid desktop/Web development. Topics include Model/View patterns, threading, testing, benchmarking, third-party libraries/add-ons, the new Phonon media framework, and new Qt 4.4/4.5 enhancements. By Mark Summerfield, the worlds #1 Qt author. Foreword by Erik Chambe-Eng, co-creator of Qt For years, Qt has offered powerful capabilities for cross-platform development of GUI-based applications. Now, Nokia is extending Qt to phones, hand-held devices, and other platforms - making it even more valuable to programmers. Traditionally, programmers have mastered the basics of Qt development with Mark Summerfields classic C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4 . But, until now the only place to learn more advanced techniques was the official Qt reference documentation. Now, Summerfield has written the definitive guide to advanced Qt programming: a complete tutorial that shows how to apply Qts newest, most powerful capabilities. Summerfields-Advanced Qt Programming brings together proven best practices and leading-edge techniques for building exceptionally innovative, efficient, and flexible applications with the latest versions of Qt, including Qt 4.4, 4.5, and 4.6. Key topic coverage includes: Using Qts WebKit integration to create hybrid desktop/Internet applications Leveraging the new Phonon media playing framework Advanced model/view and graphics/view programming techniques Managing memory reliably and without hassle Creating both console and GUI applications that benefit from Qts facilities Using the Undo/Redo framework Handling complex documents Testing, benchmarking, and working with third-party libraries and add-ons
