C++, Qt, Kde

WolfCub · 07-07-2005, 11:53 AM

I want to learn how to program in C++/Qt for the KDE GUI as well as CLI applications on Linux. I need a good tutorial or even a good book for beginners on these topics. I am an absolute beginner, I've only ever programmed in Turing at school, and HTML but that's not programming

GCC will be my compiler and I'll be using the KDevelop IDE. Could you guys point me in the right direction? Thanks.

You cat get QT C++ programming book (C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3 ) from http://phptr.com/content/images/0131...hette_book.pdf

Building Applications with the Linux Standard Base:
http://lsbbook.gforge.freestandards.org/lsbbook.html

Advanced Linux Programming : http://www.advancedlinuxprogramming.com/downloads.html

The Linux Development Platform http://www.informit.com/content/down...0130091154.pdf

Hope this helps!

FWIW I suggest you start getting to grips with just C++, with its classes, Standard Template Library, etc. Then try the Qt tutorials and knock up some simple Qt apps, and then finally deal with KDE intergration.

I'd work things in this order:
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial
http://cplus.about.com/od/beginnerct...blcplustut.htm
KDevelop tutorials
Qt Designer tutorials

The last 2 should be on your system if you have a recent version of KDE. Some things to look at while learning C++:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/....c++.moderated
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.c++

A lot of experts go to those sites, some of whom have written the software you use as well as the inventor of C++ himself. Then of course you need to know how to use the compiler on your system, since a lot of tutorials are geared toward MS:
