[sanjeet]

Hi everybody,

Till now i am working on Qt without using any IDE, but now i want to try with IDE.
But i found that there is two IDE for Qt : QtCreater and Qt-SDK1.1 .
So, can you tel me any body
1) What is the difference between QtCreater and Qt-SDK1.1 ?
2) Which one i should prefer QtCreater or Qt-SDK1.1 ?
3) And are these IDEs also for embedded application(Qt for embedded) ? Mean can i use QtCreater or Qt-SDK1.1 for developing embedded application using Qt ?

Regards,
Sanjeet

1) SDK is, well, SDK (software development kit) ... it includes QtCreator
2) QtCreator is just a fancy code editor, think of it as better notepad :P Just kidding, QtCreator does not ship with the libraries or compilers, so if you want to install everything in one shot, go for Qt SDK.
3) (part 2) If you download Qt SDK, I think you'll have everything you need to start developing embedded apps.

Sounds kinda hardcore now (especially for bigger projects), but I've done it myself few years ago :)
