Just wanted to know
When did you peoples started learning QT ?please add your experience before learning QT.
Bah, practically no experience ;-) I did do some HTML, C++, Pascal learning but it was all very basic and didn't go far.
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.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).
@sierdzio
Wow,
Actually I was also attracted by RUST haven't tried butNot 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.
Thank Your Sir

I believe 2008/2009 during University
please add your experience before learning QT.
a couple of hours in the basics, Pascal, C, assembler(like 1 course), Python ...
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.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..... 😉
@J-Hilk
Are you using QT with c++ or pythonnot 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.

Just plc programming, a bit of html/php and obscure scripting languages
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.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.

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

@Thank-You
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

I want to know about @jsulm too
good guy and first person to help me in QT forumIf mentioning here disturbs you. Sorry man.
@Thank-You said in Since when did you start QT?:
If mentioning here disturbs you
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!I'm not offended at all :-)
Scarily I seem to have made a lot of posts, without necessarily knowing what I'm talking about :)
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.

late 90s
please add your experience before learning QT.
started with Pascal on Mac. Continued with Ada, C++98 and some SPARC assembler, was forced to write code in JOVIAL for a widely unknown 2-cpu-system.
Got frustrated by tons of legacy Solaris Motif-based C/C++ code and moved to the then holy grail Java with Swing.
Now frustrated by JavaFX, the memory consumption and JVM deployment mess and the many platform-specific workarounds you now have to use with UI java.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.Tried Delphi and C++ Builder but the code for these apps always looked strange to me. Just my personal taste. And oh, I really hate scripting languages…

qt-3.x in the early 2000s.
I'm a curmudgeony old fart.
been coding since 1980ish (middle-school). started on trash-80 model 1 and DEC minicomputers. learned BASIC, Fortran4, and numerous assemblers (because interpretted BASIC is hideously slow) Used to hack dialup systems with 300baud modem and hazeline adm3a CRT.

please add your experience before learning QT.In primary school and high school, I wrote simple scripts for games and small apps for my Casio graphics calculator.
I learnt formal programming when I was 21 (with an introductory course in C programming) and realized that I liked software engineering more than electrical engineering (which I was studying in university). Later that same year, I tried to learn other programming tools online (Java, SDL, GTK...) but didn't like any of them. I finally found Qt 4 and loved it immediately.
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.I also learnt assembly and MATLAB as part of electrical engineering, but I don't use them anymore.
I mainly use Qt (C++ and QML) for my hobby projects, and LabVIEW for my day job (I wrote a comparison at https://forum.qt.io/topic/90276/showdown-qt-vs-labview/ ). I sometimes use Python and JavaScript + CSS + HTML.
All of these tools meet my current needs. I can easily integrate other C/C++ libraries into my Qt apps if necessary, and Python has a huge library selection. If someone shows me a compelling reason to try out one of the new tools/frameworks, I might tinker with it in my spare time. But right now, I have everything I need. New tools come and go regularly, so I don't try to learn them all.
