[PyQt] PyQt Learning Sources for MVC Pattern and Why Does QT

[d hee]

Thank you for this information. I will end up buying the book because for a non C++ programmer like myself...it looks like it will offer more than any other resource for MVC.

Thanks,
-Darin

It seems to contain custom delegates up to a point - it doesn't mention
QStyledItemDelegate, but you would use that in the same way as QItemDelegate,
which is covered.

QDataWidgetMapper is also covered. The InformIT page has a number of
links in the "Sample Content" tab, including one to a PDF of the index. This
is useful to see which classes are covered in the book.

I seem to remember a discussion about the price of the book on this mailing
list a long time ago in which there were references to online retailers that
offered discounts on the official price. These days, it seems that the choice
of retailers is more limited than before.
