Hello! <br>Well, it might be the good documentation, or the simple layout of a Qt application because of C++. I know GTK has the GTKmm (or was it GTK--) but I never tried it after I've got used to the simple Qt design. With the Qt
4.x releases, the framework got much easier. <br><br>The Qt documentation is the best I've ever browsed. Try <a href="http://doc.trolltech.com/">http://doc.trolltech.com/</a> and look at the latest (4.3) documentation. You'll find a good tutorial, core features' modules and all major and minor classes explained in detail and examples. The signal/slot system is very simple and effective. The layout design tool is much better than anything I've used. A few drag and drops and grouping you've got yourself a fine GUI. It also has some widgets that are really cool, like the dial widget (for building retro style GUIs :) )... And yet, of course, there is the community support, something you just have out of the box for free software :)
<br><br>Also I had the chance to compile the same applications for windows, too, so I was able to do favors to my friends by developing applications for them who were bound to use Windows. <br><br>So, you may want to give it a try, even on Windows, it is easy and fun.
<br>take care,<br>--kaya<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2007/11/6, Nistur <<a href="mailto:nistur@googlemail.com">nistur@googlemail.com</a>>:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
hi, I use linux, like everyone else, for as much as I can :). I have a<br>desktop, a laptop, a PS2 (soon an XBox if I can be bothered) a handheld<br>games console (GP2X) and until recently a smartphone all running Linux.<br>
I started off with KDE when I first began with linux but switched to<br>gnome soon after as I found it to be stabler and I preferred the way it<br>worked.<br><br>I have yet to look into programming Qt and/or GTK but as we're using the
<br>windows API to make games at the moment, I was going to look at it very<br>soon. I was wondering how you found the difference and why you thought<br>Qt is easier.<br>Thanks<br>Nistur<br><br>Kaya Oguz wrote:<br>> Hello everyone!
