Qt 4.4.0 released

Trolltech has released Qt 4.4.0. I installed it and monkeyd around with it a bit, watched the demos (they're still impressive). Qt Graphics View and XQuery look very promising to me. More about them later.

If you are looking for a decent toolkit to build both Linux and Windows GUI applications, take a look at Qt. Especially as of late I've been developing a Windows GUI application, the WinAPI is horrible compared to Qt. If it was my call, I'd instantly switch the project to the Qt! One of the most important points of Qt is having consistent API, where function names mean something!

Example:
Q: What function do you call when you need to create a button in WinAPI?
A: CreateWindow()

All I can say is OMGLOLPLZ! :)
