If you use Qt4, a book about Qt3 is rather useless, lots of things have 
changed. The O'Reilly seems to be good but I have not looked at one for 
a while (I am sure a German book won't help you much). I do only litte 
GUI stuff with Qt once a while and the online documentation is really a 
great ressource.
Just beware that the Qt framework can handle a lot of stuff but its main 
focus is GUI and not performance. I heard stories were performance of 
applications using Qt for everything was an issue. The signal-slot 
paradigm can also become a mess to debug for applications using rather 
complicated control work. Thats why it is always a good to use Qt only 
for the GUI frontend and let it talk to a backend application doing the 
real work.

Best regards,

Sebastian

Ps: To say at least something useful: The lifetime of a Qt Object is 
bound to the lifetime of its parent which is usually some visual element 
(Dialog, Widget, MainForm etc.)
