This takes the form of open enrollment courses for the +public and on-site training for you and your colleagues. +<p> If you can't get hold of the official book, or if you can't wait for +it to arrive then here is our suggested learning programme. +<p> Read the <a href="http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/whitepaper.html">Qt Whitepaper</a> first. This provides an overview of Qt's +facilities and has snippets of code which demonstrate the Qt approach +to programming. It gives you the 'big picture'. +<p> If you want to program purely in C++, designing your interfaces in +code without the aid of any design tools, read the tutorials. <a href="tutorial.html">Tutorial #1</a> is designed to get you into Qt +programming, with the emphasis on working code rather than being a +tour of features. <a href="tutorial2.html">Tutorial #2</a> presents a +more realistic example, demonstrating how to code menus, toolbars, +file loading and saving, dialogs, etc. +<p> If you want to design your user interfaces using a design tool, then +read at least the first few chapters of the <a href="designer-manual.html">Qt Designer manual</a>. After this, it is still worthwhile trying +the pure C++ Tutorials (<a href="tutorial.html">Tutorial #1</a> and +<a href="tutorial2.html">Tutorial #2</a>) mentioned above. +<p> By now you'll have produced some small working applications and have a +broad feel for Qt programming. You could start work on your own +projects straight away, but we recommend reading a couple of key +overviews to deepen your understanding of Qt: the <a href="object.html">Qt Object Model</a> and <a href="signalsandslots.html">Signals and Slots</a>. +<p> At this point we recommend looking at the <a href="overviews-list.html">overviews</a> and reading those that are relevant to your +projects. You may also find it useful to browse the source code of the +<a href="examples.html">examples</a> that have things in common with +your projects. You can also read Qt's source code since this is +supplied. +<p> If you run the <tt>demo</tt> application (in <tt>$QTDIR/examples/demo</tt>) +you'll see many of Qt's widgets in action. +<p> Qt comes with extensive documentation, with hypertext cross-references +throughout, so you can easily click your way to whatever interests +you. The part of the documentation that you'll probably use the most +is the <a href="index.html">API Reference</a>. Each link provides a +different way of navigating the API Reference; try them all to see +which work best for you. You might also like to try <a href="assistant.html">Qt Assistant</a>: this tool is supplied with Qt and +provides access to the entire Qt API, and it provides a full text +search facility. There are also a growing number of <a href="http://www.trolltech.com/developer/books.html">Qt +books</a>. +<p> You should now be ready to ground-break: good luck, and have fun! +<p> +<!-- eof --> +<p><address><hr><div align=center> +<table width=100% cellspacing=0 border=0><tr> +<td>Copyright © 2007 +<a href="troll.html">Trolltech</a><td align=center><a href="trademarks.html">Trademarks</a> +<td align=right><div align=right>Qt 3.3.8</div> +</table></div></address></body> +</html> |
