What is Qt?

[AMSA]

Hello there people.

I'm new here and I was looking for some C++ tutorials when I came across with the Qt website.

Can someone explain to me what is Qt? From what I've search, this is some kind of programming plataforn? What language it uses? Which differences exists to the C++? Or Visual C++?

Best regards,
Charles

Qt is a cross-platform application and GUI framework. See http://qt.nokia.com/products

Qt programming is done in primarily in C++ but there are Python bindings also.

But the language that is used to write the code is C++?

Be the way, can I build some apps that can read data sent by a multimeter through a RS232 port?

If you know the device's protocol then yes.

The idea that I've is to get some readings from a multimeter through the RS232. The multimeter is a FLUKE45.

Besides that part, what else do I need? I need to make an application right?

I need to make an application right?

Yes, you definitely need to make an application. But before you do I suggest you learn some C++.
