I started of with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalfanatics.org\/projects\/qt_tutorial\/\">Independent Qt Tutorial<\/a> back in 2002. In 2006, the Qt 4 edition of the tutorial turned into the<a href=\"http:\/\/apress.com\/book\/view\/1590598318\"> Foundations of Qt Development<\/a> and actually got printed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Now, it is time for a new project. I really want to get out there teaching about Qt. Last year I met my goal &#8211; I spoke several times about Qt in public (the IT University in Gothenburg, a BitSim technology evening, at a customer and at FSCONS&#8217;08). So, more speaking. You might have seen my entry on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/2009\/03\/im-doing-series-of-2h-seminars-on-qt.html\">Embedded Linux Seminars<\/a>. They are shaping up nicely &#8211; working at the logistics right now. Some places are good for on-site training, other places are better suited for open enrollment sessions where I need somewhere to be.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Anyway, there is another component to the training &#8211; I want an on-line, free, tutorial to the beginners. Having the Qt SDK and QtCreator actually makes it easier than ever to get started. So, for those of you who wants to get started, I&#8217;ve got a blog that will teach Qt in small increments &#8211; the <a href=\"http:\/\/thelins.se\/learnqt\/\">Learn Qt<\/a> blog.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Why small increments? There are three reasons:<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>Less to read per chapters for those who wants to get started.<\/li>\n<li>Less for me to write for each entry &#8211; I have a daughter and a house now, so it is harder to complete large chapters.<\/li>\n<li>The chapters can be more focused on one task. Making them easier to grasp, as well as being better suited as a reference (at a later stage).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>Being a blog, the entries all appear in the wrong order. So here are the first three entries in the right order:<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thelins.se\/learnqt\/?p=5\">Getting Qt<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thelins.se\/learnqt\/?p=26\">Disecting your first application<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thelins.se\/learnqt\/?p=55\">Making it work<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>Learning Qt is not all about reading a tutorial or about completing exercises. It is also about getting to know what is out there, be it tools, 3rd party extensions, or other tutorials. So, if you have a resource that you feel would be useful to a Qt beginner, do mail me (e8johan \/ gmail). I&#8217;ll put them on the blog at a reasonable pace, so don&#8217;t be disappointed if it doesn&#8217;t appear this afternoon.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I&#8217;m sure that there is a million things that can be improved on. For instance, I want every tutorial entry to have an abstract and tags. I would also like to launch some excersises matching each blog entry. If you have ideas, feel free to comment or drop a mail. And remember &#8211; this is all work in progress!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>>I&#8217;ve spent most of my time in the Qt world teaching.
