Free Qt 5 e-book from Packt Publishing [EXPIRED]

JKSH

Hi all,

Packt is offering a free copy of Mastering Qt 5 by Guillaume Lazar and Robin Penea: https://www.packtpub.com//packt/offers/free-learning/ (today only, registration required)

I haven't read through it in-depth myself so I can't comment on its quality, but perhaps someone else will find it helpful. This forum gets inquiries now and then from people who much prefer a full-fledged book to online tutorials.

Packt also offers a wide selection of e-books (some free, some paid) in a variety of programming fields. Have a look around! (Note: I am not affiliated with Packt)

Thanks for sharing. This will help me a lot.

QByteArray response = QString("Hello").toLatin1(); well, that's one way to do it, I guess

Oh dear.

On page 25:

ui->tasksLayout->addWidget(task);

What's tasksLayout? I can't find a reference to it. And that kills the first exercise in the book!

Take a look at the *.ui file in QtDesigner - it should be there.

You can see it in the image on page 23. It's an empty QVBoxLayout just below the toolbarLayout

@VRonin @jsulm
Thank you both.
