New Wiki Page for absolute beginner.

[abhijeet]

Thanks Andrew,,
Sure...

[troubalex]

Great idea! Stupid that I found this thread just now....

[xeonn]

Good idea indeed. Do a step by step how to add button into a forms. Discuss about button in detail. What happen during mouse down/up etc... in different OS. It will be great.

That's how the folks in codeproject.com did it. Beginner's article gets the most hit.

In my opinion this page is a "good starting point for Qt 4.7":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/doc/qt-4.7/ :)

What do you think guys?

I think it's a really really good idea, especially for me ! xD

[NewMoon]

Good Idea.. Surely it will help the Newbie's...

[Sfiet_Konstantin]

This might not be enough. There is a website in french that is really really awesome for absolute beginners : http://www.siteduzero.com/tutoriel-3-11240-introduction-a-qt.html

It is included in a C++ tutorial, but everything related to Qt is really really well explained. Maybe a wiki page that have this kind of style (tuto with exercises) might be interesting.

Yes, it's a great idea and a huge task to implement. I think you/we should make it real step by step. There are a few different ways to make it. The first is to make a linktree like progress map, using and updating the existing wikis. The second way is to write a new set of wikis with external references to other subject related wikis. The third way is a mix of the two., which is maybe the preferable.

I'm supporting this idea as it is a great idea and will improve existing basic wikis as well. Let me know if I can help in anything, I'll keep on eye on this thread ;)

[Sfiet_Konstantin]

Did you created the page ? Otherwise I'm going to create it and start write about Qt Creator

[alba26]

  -- Buttons
  -- Displays
  -- Input fields

Feel free to comment on this plan, and to add your suggestions. And feel free to contribute to the article, and tag it or rate it up :)

[CreMindES]

Looks good at first glance, I'll try to contribute to this article as much as my freetime will allow.

[Sfiet_Konstantin]

BTW, I suck at english language, please correct me !

[sierdzio]

No problem there, I will occasionally check :) Just bump this topic from time to time to refresh my memory :D

[Sfiet_Konstantin]

I splitted the article into several ones, since it is going to be huge. I also added my draft plan in the wiki. If you want to add something, or move stuff, do it ! :)

BTW, is there a way to navigate easily between different articles that belong to the same group (like in wikipedia) ? Because I created my navigation system with some arrows, but it do not seems to be that convincing ...

TODO :

• present Qt Creator
• continue the pretty button part

[Sfiet_Konstantin]

Please help me to present Qt Creator, I'm not really good at this.
Thanks in advance :)
