This book is aimed at intermediate to advanced C++/Qt developers who want to leverage the power of the Qt 4 framework for real-world, cross-platform GUI, multimedia and web-hybrid applications. Instead of covering surface-level API usage, it delves into key advanced areas including: Hybrid desktop/Internet applications using Qt’s WebKit and internet-aware widgets. Multimedia (audio/video) programming via the Phonon framework and Qt multimedia APIs. Model/View architecture (tables/trees/delegates) and custom model/view implementations. Threading and parallelism using QtConcurrent and QThread.
