Dummies' guide to Qt Programming (or something like that...)

Uberlinc

Hi all,

I have a reasonable amount of C++ knowledge and am keen to jump into the GUI side of things.
There are some good channels on YouTube but I am having trouble following them and learning from them.
I think that I might learn better from a plain ol' paper book.

So I bought one.
SAMS Teach Yourself Qt Programming in 24 Hours.
It seemed okay and lends itself to my learning style.

Then I received it.
It is nearly 18 years old.

If I have a good understanding of C++ but want to learn GUI Programming in Qt Creator 4, what do you recommend?
Are there any decent books or online books/guides that can take me through it?

Thanks,

Uberlinc.

This is probably the most up-to-date book out there: https://qmlbook.github.io/ And is available for free.

I also highly recomment just using Qt documentation, it is (for the most part) superb.

Thanks for that.
I am using Qt Creator 4.
Is this book still relevant?

Thanks.

Yes.

Not bang up to date, but "Application Development with Qt Creator, Second Edition", by Ray Rischpater covers getting started and gets you far enough to be dangerous. I prefer hardcopy books to online searching. I didn't use this to learn Qt, but I do dip into it occasionally for reference and background.
