DO NOT BUY - ADOBE DIGITAL EDITIONS DOES NOT WORK! - you can not upload a private .epub into your own library on Google Books! - you will never have the ability to resolve the publication into anything but print, and you will have bad graphics to contend with: -> Figures will overlap into other images. -> Overlapping images are going to be GUI interface examples. Trying to download the book for offline viewing always results in my being given an .acsm file that never resolves into a download where I can look at my book offline - I mean it's okay if you want to look at the same page for a few hours until you get your internet connection back on a LONG road trip... ...not. Many of the examples written in the book result in errors and compilation mistakes when using current versions of Qt - and the online documentation of the changed functions is often confusing, scarce and without any working examples to give someone an idea of how to... ...say, write an overloaded function for the keyword in use... What makes it worse is Packt has a nasty habit of not answering emails for days or weeks later when required that we start asking for the supplied "source code examples" from an ebook purchased through Google Play eBooks.
