book purchases: omg free books

[Martin Aumueller]

I had a quick glance at the german versino of danimo's book: seemed to be a 
little more in-depth than the 1st edition of the official book. My impression 
of the official book was that it is mostly an overview of the most important 
Qt concepts. But you won't find neat tricks and such. In general, I liked 
danimo's book better, but it is based on an older version of Qt than the new 
official one.

We have still another Qt book here: 
http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Design-Patterns-Perens-Source/dp/0131879057/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1200930074&sr=8-1
This one uses Qt to teach some basic design patterns. A nice introduction to 
object oriented programming techniques.
