Training Agenda & Topics - San Francisco
Please note that the agenda has been modified to better accommodate the high number of training participants this year! The adjustments were necessary in order to ensure a high quality learning environment, and to avoid any overlaps. The hands-on exercises will now take place in a dedicated room, and will be assisted by Qt engineers. Attendees can therefore spend more time in the labs, and will not be under time pressure from the session schedule.

What to bring and what will be provided
All sessions, excluding "Qt Programming Essentials", will include hands-on exercises. The attendees interested in these sessions should therefore bring a notebook to the training sessions. The source code of all exercises as well as hand-outs will be provided by us. We will also provide a copy of the Qt SDK for all attendees. However, in order to save time, we recommend that you install the Qt SDK prior to the training. You can download the Qt SDK on http://qt.nokia.com/downloads.
The labs room (Room A) will be setup with 5 islands, each one representing one of the 5 training sessions. Each island will have a development PC and will be assisted by an engineer. The assistants will help you to go through the examples and provide guidance if attendees have questions or face challenges. The attendees are free to choose when and which labs to go through. We recommend that you first attend a training session and then go to the related labs.
Although "Qt Programming Essentials" does not include any hands-on exercises, we still provide a staffed hands-on lab island for this. With this island we hope to help people that are new to Qt make the first practical steps, and assist in the installation process of the Qt SDK.
We will provide sufficient number of power plugs to charge notebook batteries. Nevertheless, please make sure that the battery of your notebook is fully charged prior to the training day.
Qt Training Abstracts and Speakers
Qt Programming Essentials
Cross-Platform Development with Qt: Part I & Part II

He is a long-term contributor to Free Software, particularly KDE, and coordinates KDAB's activities in that field. Till lives with his wife and daughter in Berlin, Germany.
San Francisco, Gregg Lebovitz, ICS
As a Qt Certified trainer and consultant, Gregg has taught over 40 onsite and open enrollment courses nationwide, including both Qt 3 and Qt 4 Programming classes. He has also designed and written three Qt training courses on Qt Designer, Qt Designer Plugins, and QImages/QThreads. These courses were integrated by Nokia’s Qt Frameworks into their Qt curriculum. In addition to his teaching expertise, Gregg is experienced in Qt development on desktop applications and embedded systems. He received his Masters in Engineering from Carnegie Melon University and is currently living in Boston, MA.
Programming with Qt: Multithreading
– Practical Training with Labs
Assumes knowledge of "Qt Programming Essentials" and covers Qt
multi-threading basics and some intermediate steps, without hands-on.
Multithreading is a way to keep the user-interface responsive, even if
the rest of your application is heavily computing. We would like to
show you different approaches for multithreaded programming with Qt -
from low-level Semaphores, Mutexes and to our high-level QtConcurrent API. We will also present some guidelines for usage of these APIs to your benefit.

Programming with Qt: QGraphicsView – Practical Training with Labs
Assumes knowledge of "Qt Programming Essentials" and covers GraphicsView basics and some intermediate steps.
GraphicsView provides a surface for managing and interacting with a large
number of custom-made 2D graphical items, and a view widget for
visualizing the items, with support for zooming and rotation. The
framework includes an event propagation architecture that allows
precise double-precision interaction capabilities for the items on the
scene. Items can handle key events, mouse press, move, release and
double click events, and they can also track mouse movement. We will
provide in this session a getting started module from our Qt Training
Material about GraphicsView programming.

Programming with Qt: Model/View Programming – Practical Training with Labs
Assumes knowledge of "Qt Programming Essentials" and covers Model-Views basics and some intermediate steps.
The
Model/view architecture provides means to manage the relationship
between data and the way it is presented to the user. The separation of
functionality introduced by this architecture gives developers greater
flexibility to customize the presentation of items, and provides a
standard model interface to allow a wide range of data sources to be
used with existing item views. We will provide in this session a
getting started module from our Qt Training Material about Model/View
Programming
