From kde-announce Fri Apr 30 12:11:58 1999 From: Martin Konold Date: Fri, 30 Apr 1999 12:11:58 +0000 To: kde-announce Subject: BOOK: Programming with Qt X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-announce&m=92547509219928 Dear KDE Enthusiast, Due to the enormeous amount of requests by international customers and the overwhelming success of the book in Europe O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. decided to ship the book as soon as possible also outside of Europe. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/prowqt/ "Programming with Qt" By Matthias Kalle Dalheimer 1st Edition April 1999 1-56592-588-2, Order Number: 5882 384 pages, $32.95 An interesting side note on the book: "Programming QT" is the first book in English published by O'Reilly to have originated in the German office. "Traditionally, Europeans have always had a strong affinity for Linux and free software in general, both as users and as programmers" explained Hansel, "So when we started the Qt book, we had a strong interest here in Europe, but we weren't sure how strong the interest would be in the US. So we decided to publish it in English for the European market only. By the time the book was published by the German company, the Open Source movement had advanced so that Qt was widely recognized as a cutting-edge topic. This was the first time we published an English language O'Reilly book outside the US - but we will do so again whenever it makes sense."
