    Just wanted to know
    When did you peoples started learning QT ? Please mention your age when you started programming too. 😂😂
    please add your experience before learning QT.

    Aren't you attracted by other easy frameworks (although they are not in c++) LIKE
    FLUTTER , REACT NATIVE , DELPHI , C++ BUILDER (not easy but alternative) , Ionic etc.

    Let's make QT free or It will go forever

      Bah, practically no experience ;-) I did do some HTML, C++, Pascal learning but it was all very basic and didn't go far.

      Flutter is interesting, definitely. I would like to learn it at least a little bit, but lack time.

      I've heard from experts that React Native is horrible so I don't bother to look at it.

      The rest from your list I'd say are irrelevant, at least to me.

      What is very interesting, IMO is Rust and I am learning it from time to time. I've tried Go, it's definitely interesting as well (and can land you a very high-salary job!) but somehow Rust feels a bit better to me. Not sure exactly why (Rust syntax is a mess), I guess I am skeptical about anything made by Google (they tend to abandon their products randomly).

        not really, like anything made by google, I'm waiting for the eventual abandonment of the framework/language,

        I do know enough Java to get along for Android dev thats enough for now :D

        other interpreter based languages come and go every year, haven't found anything that I really fancied.

        Always wanted to learn something thats almost exclusively used for websites and stuff, but with web assembly now being a thing..... 😉

        Q: What's that?
        A: It's blue light.
        Q: What does it do?

          Wow,
          Actually I was also attracted by RUST haven't tried but

          Not sure exactly why (Rust syntax is a mess)

          Yes This seems some problem to me as well.

          I guess I am skeptical about anything made by Google

          I used to think Only I was the guy with this thought but I am happy there are many peoples

          Besides Go Do you have interests in other techs like NODE js , Django , PHP etc.

            Are you using QT with c++ or python

            not really, like anything made by google, I'm waiting for the eventual abandonment of the framework/language,

            Sorry, I don't understand. Do you mean you are against google language or a sort of thing like that ?

            with web assembly now being a thing..... 😉

            Ohh. Have you tried other stacks than web assembly

              They don't support desktop and mobile apps so my interest is immediately much lower.

              At the company I work for we do have a team of Django developers, and they are happy with it. If I wanted to move towards web development, I would start with Django. Maybe one day I will ;-)

              Ah, since you ask about web stuff - I also know some Ruby on Rails and PHP. RoR is really cool. When compared to c++ it's mind blowing what it can do and how easy it is. But in recent years it is declining in popularity, so I probably won't recommend learning it.

                  My early years were with C++ Builder, I think it's now semi-dead and, in any case, it doesn't even come close to competing with Qt. Delphi was the first non-C++ framework I looked into, while I'm sure maintaining legacy platforms running in pascal is a lucrative profession it wasn't for me and my aspirations (IT/programming is not my job).
                  Flutter is the most interesting of the bunch, would be an alternative to QML but it's too young of a technology to decide if it's worth investing time into learning.

                        When did you peoples started learning QT ?

                        I started Qt when I was 20-21, it was with Qt 3.3.

                        Please mention your age when you started programming too.

                        I started programming (TI-basic) when I was 16, then I learned C++ when I was 19.

                        please add your experience before learning QT.

                        Practically nothing, one year of C++, with a 6-months (2 hours a week) project about picture drawing and genetic algorithms.

                        Aren't you attracted by other easy frameworks (although they are not in c++)

                        I'm primarily a C++ guy, I like Python as well, but that's mostly it. So not really.

                          What bout me? My life history? ;-)

                          For Qt it looks like I started and joined here in 2016, which is scarily longer ago than I remember! I did Qt to help a friend out on an existing project, using Python/PyQt. Then did my own project to use C++ instead. Only done Qt as a bit of a hobby, not for work.

                          Languages went through Pascal, BASIC, C, Prolog, C++, C#. Most work stuff was MSVC/Windows, company is B2B selling development/configuration tools. I do (and like) backend, but do frontend too grudgingly. Lately I got back into Linux, as originally I did my stuff under UNIX. And a host of other things, web stuff, scripting, sys admin. No courses/training, just pick it up as I go.

                          Other than that, I have a pussy cat and am an avid England supporter in any sport. I am now reaching an age where I can start to become a "grumpy old man", and looking forward to it. :D

                                No problem.
                                I started learning Qt when I was working as student for a big German automotive company. It was an internal PyQt project in the 200x.
                                Before that I learned programming mostly by reading books and writing small programs. But, I also want to mention the school (Gymnasium in Germany): we had good teachers for computer sciences! My first ever programming language was Basic, but at that time I had no idea what I was doing, just typing something the teacher told us and see what happens (that's why I usually refuse to "give code" to people here, they should learn and understand what they are doing :-)). 1996 my parents bought me my first PC and I started to learn programming using Turbo Pascal. Bit later Delphi. At some point I wanted to learn C++, because a teacher told us that this is what matters in real world :-) So, I used free version of C++ Builder and read the book from Stroustrup. I also learned x86 assembler at that time because I wanted to learn how CPUs actually work. That was really fun :-) At the university I also learned some Java and a bit Prolog. After study in my first real job I learned C# and some ASP.Net as that was used for an internal company project. Then again some Python, then C++ with Qt. Now, I'm again in automotive industry doing C++, but without Qt (we stopped using Qt some years ago).
                                Currently thinking about what new programming language I should learn :-)

                                        Yes, I felt bad after writing that that it might be Sam overall. Sorry!
                                        Scarily I seem to have made a lot of posts, without necessarily knowing what I'm talking about :)
                                        Still I was surprised @jsulm says he has stopped using Qt.

                                          Don't worry, it's still good contribution. It helps others and it does help you :-)

                                          When I was new here I was also answering a lot while knowing little. Somehow, in the meantime and without realizing, that helped me learn a lot, too.
