Linux User & Developer has Qt tutorial

Issue 71 (March 2007) of Linux User & Developer has been released in the UK, and it features the first part of a tutorial on Qt by Ruediger Berlich. This month it has a couple of basic "Hello world" type programs and an explanation of signals and slots.

It also has a brief history of Qt which gives the wrong information that Qt ever stood for Quasar Toolkit, which is wrong. The Q stands for Q, which according to the Blanchette & Summerfield Qt book, looked beautiful in an Emacs font in the opinion of one of the original developers; the "t" stands for toolkit. Trolltech originally called themselves Quasar Technologies, but this is likely to have come from Qt, not the other way round.

Other features include a review of OpenSUSE 10.2 and articles on Oracle, open-source software blogs (not including this one, unfortunately), corporate desktop deployment of Linux and how "the UK's new off-the-shelf tendering system for public IT contracts is systematically excluding smaller suppliers offering open-source solutions". It is available at some of the larger branches of WH Smith as well as Borders.
