C++ Qt Programming
by Bryan Cairns

maybe i am just OLD
but sitting there and doing nothing and watching a video is NOT how people ( homo sapiens ) learn to solve logic problems


reading and tying
and using a #2 pencil to WRIGHT things and DRAW!!! diagrams
and bounce an idea off other people
and have them shoot that idea DOWN or build on it

is how people LEARN to solve problems


not mindlessly watching a video

You old people didn't have lectures in your college programming classes?

For the record, professional programmers do generally find watching (e.g. conference talk) videos to be an important form of professional development. It's not all they do, but neither is it an unimportant activity.

Also, the videos posted above are not about how "to solve logic problems".

Some people are visual learners. I've actually found that while I benefit by examples, I benefit even more from well described, live examples. In learning iOS I ran into a series of Stanford University lectures on it and the instructor is very consistent, the content is very inclusive and beneficial to follow. That also is a college class which spans a term, and in addition to it being recorded, it is a live class. I did bookmark the ones here for "maybe someday", I'm actually very good with Qt so I wasn't sure if I'd find them interesting. But given John VV's thoughts I figured I'd at least glance at them and see if the person did a somewhat OK job. And I DO feel they did this. They start each discussion saying who they are, what they're there to cover. They don't seem to go off onto tangents of have self serving personality traits just to be showy. Sure they have a style of programming, as did that Stanford instructor. One learns information from them and then chooses their own styles unless the instructor offered statements and reasons as to why certain things are done certain ways. In this case, he does take the time to explain the minor nuances as to why things flow certain ways, and that helps as things get more complicated. As far as overall course flow, it is less of a course and instead a bunch of general overviews, however the flow of things are logical and they do cover a number of the important concepts for Qt and GUI programming. It would've probably helped me a ton about 6 years ago when I had to churn out my first Qt application for a client, having never done it before ever.

Yes, I learn programming best by doing, too, but these videos helped familiarize myself with the Qt framework.

Funny you should mention that. I've recently watched some of the Qt Developer Days videos from 2008, and it's just amazing how current and useful they still are.
