2.5.  Qt Creator - An IDE for Qt Programming

[ fromfile: qtcreator.xml id: qtcreator ]

Qt Creator is a recently released, cross-platform, Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that has been designed to facilitate development of C++ applications that use Qt. As you would expect, it includes a good C++ code editor that provides smart code completion (especially for Qt library functions), context-sensitive help using the Qt Assistant facilities, error/warning messages as you type, and rapid code navigation tools. In addition, the Qt Designer, which allows drag and drop form layout and design, is fully integrated into Creator along with a visual debugger and project/build management tools. There are also eight Qt Creator tutorial videos available on YouTube

Qt Creator can be installed on Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms by downloading either a binary package or a source package from the Qt-Nokia website.
