Introduction to Qt4-Common

Qt is a comprehensive development framework that includes an extensive array of features, capabilities and tools that enable development of high-performance, cross-platform rich-client and server-side applications. Qt is the GUI framework on which KDE4 is built and Qt4 is the version of Qt that the KDE4 uses. You can of course use Qt for non-KDE applications as well, but if you wish to use KDE4 or any KDE4-based applications, you must have Qt4 installed on your system.
