I’d like to pick up QT for some future projects and I would like to know, what are some important concepts to keep in mind when developing in QT? I can see the concept of signals and slots vs. wxwidget’s events as something pretty important to get a good understanding of, so what other concept for QT are important that are not in wxWidgets?
The only real magic is signals/slots
There are a few other differences, Qt generally uses more modern C++ constructs than wx which is a bit more MFC era. But like most guis it’s just a matter of learning the control->widget->window hierarchy.
It is worth getting the Qt4 book or at least reading the free Introduction to Design Patterns in C++ with Qt 4
Depends on what platform you are using but check out Qt Creator or if you are using MSVC the qt-addin. The drag-drop dialog layout still isn’t as nice as wxDesigner (IMHO) I usually endup coding most of the window, toolbar etc layout in c++
