Fond memories
Quite a long time ago I wrote a book on PyQt, the Python bindings to Qt. I still think that even though Phil Thompson may have taken a brute-force approach to binding, it's easily the best and most productive environment I've ever hacked in. Although I use C++ and Java almost exclusively nowadays, I still long for the simplicity and flexibility of Python and Qt.
Good to see, therefore, that Bruce Eckel managed to find a second-hand copy of my out-of-print book.
