    \title How to Learn Qt

We assume that you already know C++!

Read the \link http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/whitepaper.html
Qt Whitepaper\endlink first. This provides an overview of Qt's
facilities and has snippets of code which demonstrate the Qt approach
to programming. It gives you the 'big picture.'

If you want to program purely in C++, designing your interfaces in
code without the aid of any design tools, read the \link tutorial.html
Tutorial\endlink. The tutorial is designed to get you into Qt
programming, with the emphasis on working code rather than being a
tour of features.

If you want to design your user interfaces using a design tool,
then read at least the first few chapters of the \link
designer-manual.book Qt Designer manual\endlink. After this, it is
still worthwhile trying the pure C++ \link tutorial.html
Tutorial\endlink mentioned above.

By now you'll have produced some small working applications and have a
broad feel for Qt programming. You could start work on your own
projects straight away, but we recommend reading a couple of key
overviews to deepen your understanding of Qt: the \link
object.html Qt Object Model \endlink and \link signalsandslots.html
Signals and Slots\endlink. 

At this point we recommend looking at the \link overviews-list.html
overviews\endlink and reading those that are relevant to your
projects. You may also find it useful to browse the source code of the
\link examples.html examples\endlink that have things in common with
your projects. You can also read Qt's source code since this is
supplied. 

If you run the \c demo application (in \c{$QTDIR/examples/demo})
you'll see many of Qt's widgets in action.

Qt comes with extensive documentation, with hypertext cross-references
throughout, so you can easily click your way to whatever interests
you. The part of the documentation that you'll probably use the most
is the \link index.html API Reference\endlink. Each link provides
a different way of navigating the API Reference; try them all to
see which work best for you. 

You should now be ready to ground-break: good luck, and have fun!
