Best beginners book
-
If you are just starting with the Qt, then you should probably begin with "Qt Documentation":https://qt-project.org/doc/. Its definitely a good start.
Then you can check out other Qt books "here":https://qt-project.org/books.
Happy learning!

From the "book list":https://qt-project.org/books, I own both "Introduction to Design Patterns in C++ with Qt (2nd Edition)":https://qt-project.org/books/view/introduction-to-design-patterns-in-c-with-qt and "C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4 (2nd Edition) - The official C++/Qt book":https://qt-project.org/books/view/c_gui_programming_with_qt_4_2nd_edition_the_official_c_qt_book.
The first book is more general, suitable for someone who wants to learn both C++ and C++/Qt simultaneously, as well as many useful design patterns, however it requires (my personal opinion) some prior knowledge or programming (even in other languages). Also, it is more recent than the other book.
In any case, both books are great, each one for its purpose.

I'm reading "Foundations of Qt Development":https://qt-project.org/books/view/foundations_of_qt_development by johan thelin.
But as a beginner it is somewhat difficult to me.
-
I would recommend "C++ GUI Programming with Qt4":http://www.amazon.co.uk/Programming-Prentice-Source-Software-Development/dp/0132354160/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374002423&sr=8-1

And of course there is still some useful material at Nokia Developer: http://developer.nokia.com/search/simple/?s=x&view=ebs&box=1&k=qt
Some of the wiki stuff needs updating...

The link http://qt.digia.com/Product/Learning/Education/course-materials/ doesnt work anymore .
The update link is as follows.

http://qt-project.org/doc/
http://qt-project.org/wiki/developer-guides
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/gettingstarted.html
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qtexamplesandtutorials.htmlThat is all what is current as of Oct. 2014 .

Thanq for posting. This helped...

Of course I have to mention that there are now two courses for Qt on Pluralsight. One is an "Introduction to Qt ":http://bit.ly/qtIntroM and the second is on the "Fundamentals of Qt Quick":http://bit.ly/qtquickfun.
I created these courses. Pluralsight is a subscription based training site, but I can provide a free unlimited-hours week long pass (more than enough to get up to speed on Qt and a lot of advanced C++ courses) to anyone interested. Just contact me through this forum's email. -
