About the Book

Throughout this book is an Image Down Sizer program that is more completed than a Hello World example. It is, of course, an image processing application. You will learn how to make such a program from scratch. As a mentor for beginners, I will divide the implementation into many paragraphs and steps with a lot of description and explanations.

Qt 4 Not Die

It is already the Qt 5 era. Why such a Qt 4 book is still worth for reading? I think there are two reasons:

• Must maintain old Qt 4 projects
• Not yet upgrade to Qt 5 Enterprise License

As a result, Qt 4 does not die, it just fade away.

At Meet Qt in Taipei Seminar, held on 12 March 2014, the speaker Xia Chunmeng from Digia Beijing asked the audience and found out that:

• Only one-third of the 70 people start using QML
• Half of the 70 people are still working on Qt 4

I am certainly working hard to revise my book to migrate it to the successor edition Qt 5 for Beginners. I will offer my readers a coupon code to buy the new book at a discount so it is still time to buy the book now.

I am Jia-Sin Chen, a Pisces born in 1980 in Taiwan. I often use ID jarsing in the internet and call myself J Boss when blogging. I am familiar with programming and fond of writing and translating. I have being publishing over than 200 articles on print media and translating 16 computer books, including Microsoft Visual C++ .NET Step by Step (Microsoft Press), Hacking and Securing iOS Applications (O'Reilly) and Programming Android (O'Reilly).

From 2006 to 2011, my work was deeply related to Qt. The platforms I worked included Linux Desktop, Embedded Linux and Windows Desktop. In addition to develop my own programs to help myself in daily life, I also made some UI in products like a VoIP phone and a TV set-top box plus some auto test tools for network devices. Oh, yes, I wrote and published six articles on a computer magazine during that time. As an experienced Qt programmer, I saw it changed its owner from Trolltech to Nokia and finally to current Digia. It is interesting that these three companies are all based North Europe.
