I would like to invite you and the other members of UMLUG to the ICS and Qt Software-hosted free Qt QuickStart seminar. We are pleased to announce that ICS and Qt Software are hosting a series of free Qt QuickStart seminars across the U.S. and we will be stopping in Washington D.C. on December 4th ! The QuickStart is a great opportunity to spend some time with experts in Qt from Qt Software and ICS and network with other Qt developers in your area.
