Having a heck of a time understanding the "big picture" of Qt4 and how everything works together. Anybody know of a good Qt 4 tutorial/guide?

I have "C++ GUI Programming with Qt4, 2nd Edition" hardback from B&N, but I'm struggling with that too even. Just seems like they throw up some source code, say do this.. and move on with little explanation.

I found the book "Rapid GUI Programming with Python and Qt" had a pretty good introduction to Qt. It explains the signals/slots concept pretty well.

Hm, might see if I can sneak a peek at B&N later today, but I should have mentioned I'm using C++ :)

I figured you meant C++ since you have the C++ book, but the concept is still the same. You might also benefit from this page (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/how-to-learn-qt.html), but more specifically the Signals and Slots (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/signalsandslots.html) page.

Actually Python is very good for discovering the library... that stuff is not very language-dependent.

Went to 2 Barnes & Noble stores and a Borders, couldn't find it :(. And I *know* I saw it at one of the stores a week ago at most... damn whoever bought it lol.
