+\keyword qt-technologies
+\section1 Qt Technologies
+
+Qt introduces an innovative alternative for inter-object communication, called
+"signals and slots", that replaces the old and unsafe callback technique used in
+many legacy frameworks. Qt also provides a conventional event model for handling
+mouse clicks, key presses, and other user input. Qt's cross-platform GUI
+applications can support all the user interface functionality required by modern
+applications, such as menus, context menus, drag and drop, and dockable
+toolbars. Desktop integration features provided by Qt can be used to extend
+applications into the surrounding desktop environment, taking advantage of some
+of the services provided on each platform.
+
+The \l{All Modules}{Qt Modules} page has a listing of the technology modules offered by Qt.
+
+\keyword qt-desktop-meta-object-system
