The presentation slides (in PDF format) and code examples (available here) have initially been prepared by Qt Training to provide external companies with materials to be used to train developers, however, they are available for everyone. You can also visit the Training Materials page in Qt eLearning to download more materials for you to use to learn Qt at your own pace.
This session has been presented by Justin Noel, an Authorized Qt Trainer at ICS. More information about this and other training offers can be found here. ICS, a Qt Certified partner, delivers premium Qt consulting and training services.

Lab Rat
As a beginner, it would help me a lot if parts of the code would be highlighted while the teacher explained them.
All in all, this video serves to warn a beginner of the plenty of capacity built in in Qt. From my perspective, I kept in mind I would have to understand the relationship between the several classes and methods, but this is just a matter of settling to it.
Helpful video.
