Summary: Not a time waster. Gets to the points without pandering.
Review: Straight forward guide to Qt with interesting examples. I hate books that treat you like you know nothing. This one is different. There are maybe too many examples but that is useful too.I would like to see a second edition with the new Qt stuffs.

Summary: Make sure you know whats in the book
Review: the book gives general ideas about qt and some speacial purpose ideas. this book can be used to get the basics clear and also for the complex problems.

Summary: So so
Review: The book is OK for what it is, but keep in mind, it's very superficial, so you won't master Qt with it, plus is way too expensive for what it is. Also, this book -- supposedly on GUI programming -- has a grand total on one (!) screen print (I don't count views of buttons and doodads like that.)

Summary: Awful
Review: The bulk of this book consists of page after page of tables, reformatted from the Trolltech HTML Qt documentation. In what little original prose exists, you will see the phrase "See the Trolltech documentation" repeated again and again. A short section on project management is fairly good, but its two dozen pages hardly justify the cost of the book. The few sample programs are undocumented, and don't appear to do anything useful; it's hard to say, though, since many of them won't compile as written. Save your money and simply download the Qt package from Trolltech for free. This slap-dash effort is an attempt to cash in quickly on Qt's increasing popularity, and offers nothing worthwhile.

Summary: Save your money.
Review: This book does very little. Stick with Qt documentation.

Summary: Very overpriced and quite disappointing
Review: This book is unfortunately very overpriced (a fact which didn't stop my cover falling off after a couple of weeks though) and difficult to recommend. The best the book has to offer is an accompanying Cd with a relatively current version (2.1) of Qt, which may be a reason to buy for those with a poor or no internet connection (Downloading qt is an ~ 10M undertaking depending on exactly which version, and although most linux distributions come with a version is currently much earlier (1.4, I believe at present). The author seems to have tried to write a reference book in 270 pages. Instead I would suggest such books should try to offer introductions and an pedagogical overview as does Solin ("Qt Programming" by Sams), since the online Qt documentation is almost impossible to beat as a reference (what it leaves to be desired is the short complete examples covering the wide spectrum of classes/concepts that Solin achieves).

Summary: A very poor effort
Review: Unfortunately, this book fall short of expectations. It is little more than an overview of the basic funtionality is this wonderful rich featured package. Almost 30 pages of the total 270 pages are given over to Tables listing public and protected member functions all of which can be found in the Qt reference documentation. Appendix A takes up 55 pages of reference material, leaving a mear 180 pages left on the discussion of using Qt. The editorial review states this book contains a discussion of using COM/DCOM. This must have been a mistake since the subject of COM/DCOM is not mentioned anywhere in the book. Clearly, this book does not live up to expectations and there is no it could possibly cover such a vast topic in so few pages. Consequently, I could not recommend this book to anybody regardless of skill level

Summary: Qt Programming for LINUX and Windows 2000
Review: Whoever it was that tried to tell me this book was a huge disappointment was absolutely correct. I've already been programming with Qt quite extensively, and this was no more than a repeat reference of the online docs by Trolltech, but worse. At least I can use "Find" on my browser to do searches. I feel ...no more knowledgeable than I am already. Please save yourselves the (PRICE) and find a useful book on the subject.
