Good paper books on C++, Linux, Eclipse, and Qt?

[Zachary Hilbun]

I already know C, VC++, C# and have done some C++ coding using Eclipse under
Linux. I'd like to get better at C++ coding under Linux. Is there a good
paper book that combines C++, Linux, Eclipse, and Qt? I'd prefer a single
book because I don't want to duplicate my reading. If there is not a single
book on this, what good books would cover these topics with the fewest books
read?

Does the mention of VC++ mean you know C++ already? There are no
universal C++ APIs to learn in Unix; you just use ordinary C APIs.

Is there a good
paper book that combines C++, Linux, Eclipse, and Qt? I'd prefer a single
book because I don't want to duplicate my reading.

You mean the Linux book will cover C++ programming, and the Eclipse
book will teach the POSIX APIs?

If there is not a single
book on this, what good books would cover these topics with the fewest books
read?

I think it's unwise to try to minimize the number of books -- you'll
miss out on the very best of them. Eclipse didn't exist when
W R Stevens wrote /Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment/
(and I bet he would have used vi anyway); most Unix wizards dislike C++;
Stroustrup probably is a wizard but has no room for it in his
books ... and so on.
