Which is the best book for Qt Essentials?
Hello everyone!
I am interested in preparing the Qt Essentials Cerificate and for that I would like to buy a book (only one or maximum two). I saw the books that are listed here [qt.nokia.com], these are:
- C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4, 1st and 2nd Edition, by Jasmin Blanchette, Mark Summerfield.
- Foundations of Qt Development, by Johan Thelin
- An Introduction to Design Patterns in C++ with Qt 4, by Alan Ezust, Paul Ezust
- The Book of Qt 4: The Art of Building Qt Applications by Daniel Molkentin
But apparently no one treats completelly all the exam’s subjects. Could you tell me (if you know them) which is the best ?
Thanks in advance!
Sebastian

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.

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. :-)
