  • I'm not familiar with programming in Qt. Does it actually introduce any new syntax or change the language, or is it just some very sophisticated libraries? Commented Jan 6, 2012 at 20:47
  • @FrustratedWithFormsDesigner It doesn't QT is the GUI Framework qt.nokia.com if you're interested Commented Jan 6, 2012 at 20:50
  • Qt also offers an alternative to standard classes and containers (e.g. QString, QList, and so on) and a lot of other facilities. Some of them I find even more intuitive than the standard ones. I think it is a nice programming environment, but I would advise learning the core C++ language separately. Commented Jan 6, 2012 at 20:58

    @Karlson Qt does add some things to the language, hence the need for the moc aka metaobject compiler. This adds some reflection and forms the basis of Qt's signals/slots system. Commented Jan 7, 2012 at 14:13
