New Qt Training Materials

As you will most likely have noticed, Qt for S60 is going to be really big. Therefore, it’s a good idea to start learning Qt as soon as possible.

One chance to do this is going to be the first public “Qt on S60” webinar ( which will be broadcasted on 17th December 2008).

To get an overview of what Qt can do for you and how to get Qt to do just that, you might additionally want to take a look at the new Qt course materials that have just been published at symbianresources.com.

Three modules are already finished, which cover many of the general aspects of Qt cross-platform development, including:

- Qt overview
- Signals and Slots
- Meta-Objects, Properties
- Widgets, Dialogs, Main Window
- Menus, Toolbars, Actions
- Events
- Layouts and Styles, low level painting
- Data types
- Internationalization
- Settings
- Sockets / Files

In the future, new modules with a special focus on unique aspects of Qt for S60 will be added. Due to the cross-platform nature of Qt, the features that have been covered in the general slide sets are of course fully applicable to all platforms that Qt runs on, including S60.

For those reading about "Qt for S60" for the first time here's a blog post with the required pointers: We’re porting Qt to S60!

Also to be noted that the newly released IDE Carbide.c++ 2.0 includes support for application development using Qt for S60.
