Qt in education

I came across a really nice blog entry by Hanne Linaae entitled Teach Qt!. That led me to the Qt course materials and I grabbed a few of the course material sets.

When I settled in to look at the first one I was very pleased to see three things:


  • They are creative commons licensed, allowing for broad usage

  • There are PDFs and PowerPoint formats, yes ... but there is also an ODF version in there

  • KDE is mentioned a few times, including getting its own slide in the intro slide deck with a pointer to Techbase



The course materials look really good and the approach seems solid. Nice work Qt people! :) The more educational materials and documentation we can have around the Qt and KDE ecosystem the better.

I haven't seen these yet, but I have to say, their Qt documentation, and accessibility to it from Qt Assistant or Qt Creator, is great!

It's so nice to see they take such good care of this.
(well, it's obviously in their best interest, too :P)

Wow, those slides are really well done. Thanks for the link. I hope to make use of them in future ;-)
