[dundee] Hello!

[Kaya Oguz]

Hello!
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.xreleases, the framework got much easier.

The Qt documentation is the best I've ever browsed. Try
http://doc.trolltech.com/ 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 :)

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.

So, you may want to give it a try, even on Windows, it is easy and fun.
take care,
