 Hey everybody it's Brian and welcome to the 34th Qt tutorial with C++ and GUI programming. Today we're not going to do any real programming. I wanted to answer some questions I've been getting from people about Qt Creator. What is it? Where do you get it? Qt Creator is an IDE developed by the Qt developers that complements the Qt libraries. It's the same IDE we've been using for all these tutorials. It comes stocked with just tons and tons and tons of examples like let me actually just open one up here and when you open one up it instantly flips to the reference material which is something I love so you can actually read the full help file about this before you actually even look at the code and you can flip back and forth between the code and the help file at will. Where do you get this? Well you go to qt.nokia.com slash downloads and you choose your LBGPL or the commercial version. I'm not going to really get into the differences between these two licenses but you should really go out and read the fine print see which one's right for you. I use the LGPL version and as you can see you can get it for you know Windows all flavors of Linux, Mac, I mean just about every relevant operating system out there and you can download the libraries separately. Now the SDK is the libraries and Qt Creator all in one but you can download them individually if you need to and just kind of scroll down and then you can see all these different flavors of Qt Creator. Now if you don't like Qt Creator you're not stuck with it you can actually use Visual Studio add-ins and there are other bindings out there like there's Qt for Eclipse integration so if you're an Eclipse fan you can use that. So you're not stuck with any one technology and because this is a cross-platform library you can you can do this on any operating system you want so just to recap I mean it's qt.nokia.com slash downloads. I personally prefer Qt Creator I use it in both Windows and Linux. In case you're wondering I use KDE Linux which is actually all of KDE is built with the Qt libraries. So let's go to KUbuntu. This is the operating system I use for my Linux environment. I dual boot Windows and Linux. Kabuntu.com maybe I'm mispronouncing that I know it's Ubuntu so it's KUbuntu for the KDE desktop and it's actually very easy to set up I was very surprised I was studying for my Linux Plus exam and I had no idea really what I was doing but everybody said try try Ubuntu and I tried it I liked it but I liked the KDE desktop better. So if you're really interested try kubuntu.org and just kind of get involved with that operating system it's got a lot of features if you're coming from Windows it might be a little difficult at first if you've never used another operating system before but I mean as you can see from some of these screenshots it's a very pretty operating system it's fully customizable I mean I'm very impressed with it. So anyways I'm babbling on this is Brian thank you for watching.
