Free Books


As the publishing date approaches I thought that I'd tell you a bit about my book: Foundations of Qt Development. It attempts to be a broad book, introducing most parts of Qt with working code examples and to always work from a practical starting point. As I am independent of Trolltech, I have had the opportunity to include third party applications as well, including CMake. This is something that I hope will help people get started with KDE development as well as Qt development.

Update - I've got over a hundred requests - I'll notify the winners soon!

If you are interested, you can get a copy for free. All you need to do is to write a mail to e8johan () gmail ! com with the subject "I want a book". Include your full name, postal address and a daytime phone number in the message body. The first five mailers will receive a free copy of the book directly from APress.

I already put a pre-order through the distributor at work (book café), but e-mailed anyway. *fingers crossed*. If I get it I'll just put the one I ordered through work up on the counter for someone to buy ;)

Shopping links? My recommendation would be to start at APress http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=10278 , the ISBN is 1590598318 is you want to search at other shops.

I hope your book does well.

Could you write a KDE4 book next please? :P

I do cover CMake, so it leans more towards KDE than any other Qt 4 book out there, but for a possible next edition, that is clearly an option.

Good for people to know.
