Actually got my hands on some C++ at work now although I was quite happy messing about with XSL to be honest. I've been given a special version of the software where the majority of the code is buried in a static library and just the bits I'm allowed to play with are provided as source, which is a little unusual, so need to spend today getting it to build.
I'm quite impressed with Qt Creator as an IDE actually. Never thought I'd be able to get used to anything other than VS but I have to say Creator is an impressive piece of engineering and the intellisense is quite remarkable really. I also quite like the way most of the config is done by just editing the .pro file rather than wading through pages of properties.
Think today is probably going to hold a fair bit of wailing and gnashing of teeth, but the nice thing about doing this for a living is I know I'll solve any problems eventually because I always do when it comes to this stuff. Once it's building I'll be able to launch off into some really useful work which will be nice.
