[KDE-India] Qt applications for a workshop

[Vishesh Handa]

Hey Saurabh

Qt is a complex beast to tackle in a workshop these days mostly because it
is diverging quite a bit. There is the QML part and then the C++ part. Both
are quite important, but each requires a very different mindset. You'll
need to choose which one you want to target. QML is obviously simpler and
you get visual feedback quite soon, so it can be more interesting.

When I've taught Qt a few times, I went for making a simple twitter client.
This typically involved both C++ and some QML code. It also involved
hooking up to OAuth which provided a nice framework for teaching them about
3rd party libraries and how to use them.

Also, have a look at the KDAB training videos. They are quite long and
slow, but they are still quite useful. Finally, you could also try to have
a look at Qt on Android. It might be more useful, but then you just have 2
hours.

Good Luck, and let us know how it goes.
