\title How to Learn Qt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We assume that you already know C++!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The best way to learn Qt is to read the official Qt book, <a
|
||
|
|
href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0131240722/trolltech/">
|
||
|
|
C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3 (ISBN 0-13-124072-2)</a>.
|
||
|
|
\if defined(commercial)
|
||
|
|
\footnote
|
||
|
|
Some of the book's examples make use of modules that are only
|
||
|
|
available in the Qt Enterprise Edition.
|
||
|
|
\endfootnote
|
||
|
|
\endif
|
||
|
|
This book provides comprehensive coverage of Qt programming all the
|
||
|
|
way from "Hello Qt" to advanced features like multithreading, 2D and
|
||
|
|
3D graphics, networking, and XML.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\l{http://www.trolltech.com/training/}{Qt and Qtopia training} is also
|
||
|
|
available. This takes the form of open enrollment courses for the
|
||
|
|
public and on-site training for you and your colleagues.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Read the \link http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/whitepaper.html
|
||
|
|
Qt Whitepaper\endlink 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'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to program purely in C++, designing your interfaces in
|
||
|
|
code without the aid of any design tools, read the tutorials. \link
|
||
|
|
tutorial.html Tutorial #1\endlink is designed to get you into Qt
|
||
|
|
programming, with the emphasis on working code rather than being a
|
||
|
|
tour of features. \link tutorial2.html Tutorial #2\endlink presents a
|
||
|
|
more realistic example, demonstrating how to code menus, toolbars,
|
||
|
|
file loading and saving, dialogs, etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to design your user interfaces using a design tool, then
|
||
|
|
read at least the first few chapters of the \link designer-manual.book
|
||
|
|
Qt Designer manual\endlink. After this, it is still worthwhile trying
|
||
|
|
the pure C++ Tutorials (\link tutorial.html Tutorial #1\endlink and
|
||
|
|
\link tutorial2.html Tutorial #2\endlink) mentioned above.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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 \link
|
||
|
|
object.html Qt Object Model \endlink and \link signalsandslots.html
|
||
|
|
Signals and Slots\endlink.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At this point we recommend looking at the \link overviews-list.html
|
||
|
|
overviews\endlink and reading those that are relevant to your
|
||
|
|
projects. You may also find it useful to browse the source code of the
|
||
|
|
\link examples.html examples\endlink that have things in common with
|
||
|
|
your projects. You can also read Qt's source code since this is
|
||
|
|
supplied.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you run the \c demo application (in \c{$QTDIR/examples/demo})
|
||
|
|
you'll see many of Qt's widgets in action.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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 \link index.html API Reference\endlink. 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 \link
|
||
|
|
assistant.book Qt Assistant\endlink: 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 \link
|
||
|
|
http://www.trolltech.com/developer/books.html Qt
|
||
|
|
books\endlink.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should now be ready to ground-break: good luck, and have fun!
