Resources for learning Qt on Mameo5 Fremantle

Post #1 of 4 (1531 views)

I am looking for resources related to learning Qt on Maemo5 Fremantle.
More specifically I am trying to understand the workings of this app: (and
add some new features to it such as a one-step undo for when you press the
wrong block by mistake)
http://maemo.org/packages/view/skidstone/

I have a copy of a book titled "C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4 Second
Edition", will the information in that book be of any use in understanding
whatever version of QT Maemo5 has?
Where can I find tutorials and things dealing with mobile-specific stuff
like touch events?

That book is fine, but is focused on desktop. There are a couple of
books out there focused on Qt and mobile apps. "Beginning Nokia Apps
Development" is about Qt on Symbian and MeeGo and can be had for under
$10 USD.

Also of course the great documentation on the Qt website itself cannot
be overlooked. :)

Thanks, I will see if I can track down that book (ordering it from Amazon
is an option but the shipping to Australia is a killer :)
