I had a look at this toolkit in 2003, because at the time there weren't any other cross-platform ide tools. There was a demand for a MacOS version of our software at the time. Let's face it, it would have taken me longer to learn to build in raw C for a MacOS app or even Java. Qt & wxWidgets were still in their infancy. It's anything but dumbed down, when you consider what it takes to develop applications that will run on MacOS, Windows & Linux. The language is very similar to VB6 with more emphasis on OO usage. Using this language and software is really aimed at cross-platform development. If this is what you are aiming for at work, then it's a quick, easy and powerful way to do this. If you don't like RealBasic or VB, QT version 4 from Trolltech is excellent and offers development in C++, using various IDE's or compilers. wxWidgets is fairly good, but I find it slightly harder to setup & develop.

Go 'fishing' on the web. There's lots of stuff out there. :suss:
