I am a fan of Qt and the more i learn about it, the more i love it. I don't know why it is named Qt. I searched it but all of the results where irrelevant. Most were acronyms like "Quality Time" and some were "cutie" or "quiet".
I thought may be it is a funny acronym like "GNU" which is GNU's not UNIX. Either way it is such a cool and cute name. Anybody know about it?
Quote from the first edition of C++ gui programming with Qt 4:
The letter ‘Q’ was chosen as the class prefix because the letter looked beautiful in Haavard’s Emacs font. The ‘t’ was added to stand for “toolkit”, inspired by Xt, the X Toolkit.
*Haavard Nord and Eirik Chambe-Eng began the development of Qt
The same piece of history is on wikipedia
