Yes, probably.  For my taste, there was too much illustrating how to use each 
widget and not enough on the more advanced topics.  For example, there's a 
whole chapter on how to use configuration files, but only a brief intro on 
KParts and nothing at all on how to structure code for undo/redo.  So if 
you're looking to take one step beyond the Qt tutorials, this will do the 
trick.  The examples are clear and simple, and I think there were only a 
couple of typos in the whole book - pretty impressive proof reading and 
testing for a first edition.

Personally, I feel there's room for more HOWTOs within the KDE realm.  Mmm, 
perhaps I ought to write one when I've sorted it out myself. ;-)
