Although the book is dated, it's still useful in a lot of ways, and personally it's proven to be a great way in keeping me honest as I went through the chapters I deemed useful (avoiding spending time on forums and reading documentation becomes impossible with this book). With that said, I couldn't help think that during it's time this would have been one hell of a book. The layout and approach is fantastic.

This is really nice account of QT, but unfortunately it's slightly outdated.

Packed with some good examples

In all fairness, I used this book only to get some things I needed to get done, done.

I found out later that it was easier after a while to use the online documentation for what I needed.

For each type of project that you may have, with little experience, this book gives a pretty good introduction on each topic and will give you the big picture, most of the time.

If you have to use this thing (Qt), good luck.

Fantastic book, not for the beginner, but a great explanation of how to use the Qt4 libs for cross-platform application development. I have yet to comprehend why EVERYONE doesn't use Qt4...!?
