Qt: Introduction

Hii friends, this time i am going to share my little knowledge about Qt… i.e.. what is Qt, why it is used, and (obviously) how it is used 😛 Later on, in the successive blogs, I will show how to write applications in Qt.

Qt is basically a cross-platform c++ based application framework. Cross-

QT

platform means that the code you write on one platform (ex. Linux) can get compiled easily on another platform (ex. Linux). Qt is mainly used for designing GUI (graphical user interface ) applications and some non-GUI application like console for servers. Qt finds its application in VLC media player, AutoDesk Maya, Fedora(KDE framework), Mathematica, OPERA MINI (upto version 10.0). The companies using Qt comprises of NOKIA, Samsung, Google (google server consoles), Research In Motion etc.

sleepy programming!!

Yes, it was about 5 a.m. and I had a torrent of MATLAB 2012a being downloaded.  I did hear about the competition from Mathworks Simulink and think of trying for that.  Matlab was approximately 5gb and it is too much for a download speed of 64kbps!!!  Though I started it as my PC is usually all time ON.. It can give challenge to servers man, lolzz . The maximum time it was on was 3 and a half days continuously downloading a game from torrent.

I was actually feeling sort of tension because I had to go to college too after a few hours, first lecture is of MaZumDaaar madam!!!!!  So I decided to sleep putting an alarm alongwith (yeah, yeah yeah,, every other lazy and careless guy like me keeps an alarm to wake up, though it doesn’t make any affect…lolz.  I looked around for the alarm watch and I was not able to find it because actually I dont have one!!! 🙂 

So, I picked my phone but guess what It had already 3 alarms set for daily basis at 6:00 am to 7:00 am.  So I thought of making a new alarm because this alarm never works! Looking at my PC and my SPEAKERS, I had an idea of making the alarm on my PC.  As we all know there is already a watch available on everyone’s PC, no matter which OS you use, we usually get the ALARM  facility like that of Kalarm and others with different distros.  I thot of making it by my own irrespective of the fact that I was too much sleepy(on eye was almost closed sitting down on the chair).
