When are the results of the beta exams due?
-
Volker, afair they will be with some discount in release mode for ones who have passed essentials before some date.
Updated.
-
Now as we have so many certified developers in the forum. Someone can start a wiki article on the different levels of certification and references to any study materials.
-
QtK, there is curriculums for all three exams at qt.nokia.com. I'm not sure that something more can be added, they cover all that you need to know to pass the exam.
-
Yes, curriculums are there. But there are no specific book to refer to for certification as we have for other certifications. So any sort of preparation material would help.

I think Qt Documentation is a perfect resource for learning Qt for the exams. Except those for C++ which "this":http://www2.research.att.com/~bs/3rd.html is the one book for C++ :)
-
Documentation is very good for reference. But then you always need a book or guide, some people like to read hard copy. Despite these documentation there are people in Qt working on preparing study materials. Now someone is doing it because they feel there is a need for such things.
Similarly, I felt there should be some more material available for preparing for certifications apart from Qt Documentation.

This raises a question where would the book authors learned how to program in Qt? I am sure that most of them are coming from the Qt Documentation.
As for the hard copy, you can easily print any information from the Qt Assistant directly.

For books about Qt (and C++), we have a "wiki page":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Books_and_Links_for_learning_C_and_advanced_topics
I think this page, together with the circulum description should be enough.
rergarding where the authors have their knoledge from, some of the work(ed) for Qt :-)

It is enough - otherwise I would not have passed it :-) For all who are reluctant to Stroustroup's Bible I recommend the C++ FAQs (the hardcopy version), it's fun to read and covers almost all of the advanced C++ curriculum.
-
From experience: for Qt you don't need books. Just the docs, the mailinglist (or other channels) and experience. I don't have a single Qt book (but several C++ ones), but I still managed to pass both advanced exams.
On training materials: there is a "separate thread":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/2134/ on that that you may find interesting.
Now I am just waiting to see that badge here added, as well a get the certificates in the mail :-)
-
Is there any word yet on when we can expect our certificates to arrive?
I am "looking for":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/3352 a new job, and they might come in handy.
