    The first book (in your list) is the most informative, but the second book is the best written.

    I've read all of them, I think you should do the same.
    Every book has advantage and some minimal disadvantage.

    Much better: read all of the emphasized chapters of these books. That WILL BE enough for the exam! The exam itself is not so difficult.

      Thanks broadpeak!

      Finally I found all of them on the net...
      So no need to choose only one of them.

      Bye!

              Great list, thanks Rahul!

                This is a very good list Rahul!
                It would be ideal that this information can be reached in PDF format :)

                  The devnet site actually HAS a PDF engine, f.i. you can export wiki pages to PDF, although it does a horrible job with code snippets...:
                  http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/pdf/Threads_Events_QObjects

                  You could ask as a feature request to having that PDF export in the documentation as well. :-)

                      I am glad that those links are found to be useful. Anyway, that is theory side. But for coding practices, i felt, C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4, 2nd Edition, by Jasmin Blanchette, Mark Summerfield is the best.

                        Foundations of Qt Development (Johan Thelin) was the most informative book I have read on Qt. I found a lot of information in other materials to be out of date. This book also goes into integrating with openGL, using QtSql for databases, multi-threading, unit testing, and networking.

                          thanx for the link rahul....

                          There is not now, nor has there ever been, nor will there ever be, any programming language in which it is the least bit difficult to write bad code.

                              Can anyone who has got this certificate tell whether it is worth the money paid? It costs around 8000 rupees in India.
