Well yesterday night i started of with chapter 8 after reading till page 238 i decided to download the sdk since peeking inside could be helpful as mentioned in the book. I am not sure what version to download , I did had one that I got from Autodesk.com/lgpl but sill I downloaded 1.8 GB of qt sdk offline v1.1.2 .
I separately downloaded qt creator from qt digia site but it was disappointing that it does not include qt designer, so i had to research a bit and download the qt designer separately today.
Qt is a cross-platform application development framework. Some of the well known applications developed with Qt are KDE, Opera, Google Earth and Skype. Qt was first publicly released on May 1995. It is dual licensed. That means, it can be used for creating open source applications as well as commercial ones. Qt toolkit is a very powerful toolkit. It is well established in the open source community.
beside just the book , their were few resources that were useful:

use +command as name of propery (command can be replaced with any command name)
