Is the material in this book still applicable

Yes, mostly. It is based on Qt 4, but Qt 5 mostly adds features to Qt 4 and changes only a small number of the older features.

(i.e. its example code compiles & runs without errors ?) using Qt 5 please?

Mostly no. From Qt 4 to Qt 5 the organization of the Qt distribution completely changed, including the locations of Qt header files and the names of Qt libraries. In addition, some of the arguments to basic functions changed.

The best way to proceed is to load the project into Qt Creator, configure it to use your current Qt distribution, then try to build it. Look at what the compiler or linker tell you is wrong, fix them, and build again. The process will be the same for almost every example and once you get it for the first one, the rest will follow the same pattern.

There are newer books that are Qt 5 based, such as the one by Wysota and Haas (which you will also find on Amazon).

Thank you for suggesting "The Foundations of Qt Development (ISBN: 1-59059-831-8)"

Just in case it was not clear, its part of my signature.
At the time when I put it in my signature, this book was the newest (btw, written by e8johan).
I probably should update my signature :-)
