\brief An introduction to GUI programming with Qt and Qt Creator,
describing in detail how to put together a simple yet fully-
functioning application.
This tutorial gives an introduction to GUI programming using the Qt SDK.
### Screenshot
In the process, we will learn about some basic technologies provided by
Qt, such as:
\list
\o Widgets and layout managers
\o Container classes
\o Signals and slots
\o Input and output devices
\endlist
If you are completely new to Qt, please read \l{How to Learn Qt} if you
have not already done so.
The tutorial's source code is located in Qt's
\c{examples/tutorials/addressbook} directory.
Tutorial chapters:
\list 1
\o \l{Designing the User Interface}
\o \l{Adding Addresses}
\o \l{Navigating between Entries}
\o \l{Editing and Removing Addresses}
\o \l{Adding a Find Function}
\o \l{Loading and Saving}
\o \l{Additional Features}
\endlist
Although this little application does not look much like a fully-fledged
modern GUI application, it uses many of the basic techniques that are used
in more complex applications. After you have worked through it, we
recommend checking out the \l{mainwindows/application}{Application}
example, which presents a small GUI application, with menus, toolbars, a
status bar, and so on.

\title Address Book 1 - Designing the User Interface
The first part of this tutorial covers the design of the basic graphical
user interface (GUI) we use for the Address Book application.
The first step to creating a GUI program is to design the user interface.
In this chapter, our goal is to set up the labels and input fields needed
to implement a basic address book application. The figure below is a
screenshot of our expected output.
### screenshot
We begin by launching Qt Creator and use it to generate a new project. To
do this, select \gui New from the \gui File menu. In the
\gui{New File or Project}
