Hi everyone, I'd like you to recommend some fine books on Boost and QT libraries. I've been learning C++ for more than a year, I've learned the syntax and language basics, it's gotchas, a few development features and gotcha's. I don't have big experience in development. Read Eckel (Thinking in C++), Meyers.

C++ GUI Programming with QT 4 is quite a good book on QT. I have a copy of this. I don't have any books on BOOST but This amazon search on C++ BOOST might be a good start.

Although slightly outdated at this point, IIRC. I find the online boost docs just as good and always up to date.
yeah, i own it too. i find the online docs at least as good as the book. nevertheless, i think it was worth the money

You really don't need a book on QT. They're got great tutorials and examples. Note to mention a ridiculously great API.

I'll agree that Qt has great documentation, tutorials and examples. However, I find a good book to be very helpful. I seem to be wired that way.

I'll second the recommendation of C++ GUI Programming with QT 4. I got started with this book for Qt 3.

I highly recommend Introduction to Design Patterns in C++ with Qt 4

(you can get a CHM version of it here)

EDIT: I've been reading from the book and I'am starting to feel like it's a little advanced, thus I recommend "C++ GUI Programming with QT 4" for beginners and "Introduction to Design Patterns in C++ with Qt 4" afterwards

This Boost book is not out yet, but I thought of posting it here so that you are aware of it:
