Now you show up. I did a Qt project last year, and it tweren't easy  .

I was probably a beginner myself when you did it 
I don't see myself as Qt Pro|Guru, just as someone who ran into the common traps already and can guide beginners around them

(Good reply Marco. And good luck with the book I think we need a good new book on Qt. )
If I may add my few cents to that:
C++ programmers know there are many ways and styles to use C++. Try to find out the Qt way of doing things. Its a good way, and it saves you a lot of time.
For example:
Make sure you understand the implicitly shared data types, and the smart pointers. They save you a lot of effort.
QML is definitely the way to go, IMO, not just for cross-platform.
For databinding to the UI (QML), I like QProperties, but there's a lot of ceremonial code required for them. You need to find a good snippet, macro, code-completion thingy in your IDE to take care of all the typing you have to do for them.
An alternative to QProperties, if you have dumb objects consider using QDeclartivePropertyMaps. They're a quick way of making simple objects that automatically bind to your QML.
I have some other tips in this blog post/[^].
Good luck.

It's an article on CodeProject, not a book

It's a nice book, no doubt. But Qt is already at version 5.2.1, and I'm not sure if this book covers 'hot' topics as QML (for example) accurately.
Don't get me wrong, it's good for a starter but as soon as you want to support Android|iOS|WinRT that book won't probably help much. Qt is a cross-platform framework, and a GUI written with Qt technologies shall support all available platforms (IMHO, at least).

Depends on which version of Qt you want to use. The principles are the same but the locations of the header files are completely different between Qt3, Qt4 and Qt5.

AD/HD featuring Scrotum Young, Drill Thudd, Knob Rott, Anus Old & Spliff Millions with their hit album Highway to Distraction.
Yes I know about them.
I can count to at least five cover/tribute bands with that name and (atleast) one with the name AB/CD.
Oh and not to forget, atleast four bands with the name OCD/C.
