Hi eminemence, Notice that, from language’s point of view, QML and Qt C++ is different, but both of them are powerful. And for UI parts, QML is more convenient to use. If you have C++ experience, i think it’s easy for you to learn Qt also. And you asked if it’s necessary to learn Qt C++ first, i think it’s depend on what kind of application you want to make. So the first thing is, just forget the Qt C++, have a look at the QML language and it’s usage, and find out the answer yourself. As far as we know, there is already a lot of QML plugin can use, even for Qt Mobility and Qt3D(Qt Quick3D for QML). Hope you can enjoy the Qt world, and sharing your experience later :D

I am interested in making an application with a good interface(I know it sounds silly) and at the same time involves a bit of data storage for user settings and lists etc.
Any recommendations for tutorials. I found the Qt developer videos to be a bit heavy on the Qt C++ part.

It doesn’t sounds silly eminemence.

It’s recommend to know Model/View architecture in Qt when you want to show a lot of data. And if you can describe your idea/app a little bit detailed, i think it’s more usefull for people who want to give you advice :-)

Br,

Just found this : http://developer.qt.nokia.com/doc/qt-4.7/gettingstartedqt.html – Non buggy version :)
I think I will start with getting some hold of the Qt framework and then probably jump into QML.

There is also this very basic step-by-step Qt tutorial [developer.qt.nokia.com]. There also a number of QML articles in the wiki.

Good luck and feel free to come back with specific questions.

Learning Qt, C++, JavaScript, QML in one step is too much. Concentrate on Qt/C++ or QML/JavaScript. QML/JavaScript is what you need for iPhone like animated UIs. Qt/C++ is what you need for desktop apps but can also be used for phone UIs to a certain degree.

For the data storage etc. eventually I will need Qt\C++. So currently am concentrating on just Qt\C++.

Hey the Qt Quick tutorial modules seem to be incomplete.

Anyone has the link to the complete tutorial with all the modules?

You can find docs in your SDK. It’s complete tutorial :D

Search keyword “Qt Quick”, you can find:

It’s helpful :-)
