[mythtv] OT: Learning C++ and QT

[Ahmed Toulan]

Hi Matt,

In my opinion I think that

http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/

is a good way to get you started with C++.

And this tutorial for Qt 3.3 (which MythTV uses)

http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/tutorial.html

Once you feel confident that you understood the main concepts about C++ an
Qt you should start reading MythTV code. You can start reading a plug-in
because it will be much simpler than reading MythTV core.

Good Luck! :)
