Weekend in Warsaw for Qt training

After not having much contact with Qt during the last months,
I decided to enter a new Nokia training in Warsaw. Qt for N8 and Symbian^3 devices.
Actually, the platform was not the most important point of the conference since you could do testing with Symbian S60 3rd edition, Maemo or the N8s provided by Forum Nokia to test in site.

The training consisted in two days, first one for beginners in Qt developing, more focused on just explaining what Qt is and how it interacts with different platforms, and second one more focused on advanced functionalities of Qt.

I have to say that the platform really improved from last time I had contact with it last year December in Copenhagen. Deploying for Maemo 5 was much more tedious that it is right now. And, apart from that, deploying for desktop, Symbian S60, Symbian^3 and Maemo, is really transparent for the Qt developer.

I think that all the effort that Nokia is putting on the Qt platform will bloom probably when the MeeGo platform will start using all the knowledge of the people who are developing for Qt right now.
But nothing can be assured, since Android and iOS are also going forward.
Let's see what 2011 is going to end up with.
It seems to be an interesting war :)
