Hi,

I have tryed to learn Qt without any big C++ knowledge. After some time I have recognized, that this was lost time... I was not able to write a Qt application.

C++ knowledge is very important I think because Qt is objectoriented - written in C++ and so you should know how everything fits together.

It's hard (impossible) to learn Qt without C++ knowledge...

You are never ever to old to learn C++. Believe me: There is nothing which is better than programming Qt... If you are able to write Qt applications - your life will change... ;) It's a great thing...

So - now be motivated - buy a C++ book and start to learn...

You will need to learn c++ before leanring Qt. Qt is a set of libraries for c++, and you will have a hard time working out anything in Qt without the background knowledge about pointers, references, and objects.

Good-luck with the c++, its not as bad as people say it it. :D And of course, your never too old to learn anything. Whilst your at it, teach your children c++. :)

If you've been working at an IT operator, you're no stranger to computers so a book like Thinking in C++ will be a good way to start. I've found it very helpful when I started programming in C++, a few years back.

You can even download it for free at http://www.mindview.net

OOP means object oriented programming and is a programming paradigma.
C++ is one of the languages supporting it.

I bought Programing with Qt second edition and I did't understand at all, now I did read a very good spanish C++ book and I read now part of Programing with Qt and Qt Programming in 24 hours and beleive me I understand at all...

I'd advice you to go for C# if you want to use the .net platform (as opposed to VB). C++ is the most widespread spread language now so if you are aiming at professional development I would recommend it. The thing is that the choise of language does not really matter as soon as you've really understood programming. All languages embody more or less the same features, the real trick is to translate your real world tasks to those features in a good way. If you are a learning programmer, I would really recommend you to look at Python.
