I believe the Maemo target is no longer in the default installation of Qt Creator. If you launch SDK Maintenance Tool, you should be able to install the Maemo target from there.

Good work on the tutorial prankster There are a few beginners tutorials on the Development section, but it's always good to have more

To anyone starting out with development, I'd also recommend checking out the gret newbie sticky tutorial on the development forum - http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43663. It also walks through creating your first Qt Studio project and uploading to the N900. You might also want to check out the tutorials in my signature, they focus more specifically on playing sounds and using the accelerometer (for example). And there are lots of hints and tips everywhere on the maemo.org Development forum.. it's good to get ideas from everywhere

I think what mikecomputing is getting at is that QML is the bright shiny future and QWidget is on the way out the door as far as the Qt project goes. But there's nothing stopping use of QWidget on the N900, as you say it's still available and certainly not deprecated at this time.

can you make an example for a rss reader application
?

do i have to add qwebview to make the app show web content?
like rss feeds?

thanks, im a newb and will give it a try!!!!!

i think it will be difficult to address the every aspect of Qt use .you better learn it through your own means .
For web content :http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qtwebkit.html

i think this needs c++ knowledge
is anyone here a developer that learned by himself developing apps?
If so tell us how you did learn it.

after following guide i'm not getting a result of the sum in results box this is my mainwindow.cpp if you can help as scratching my head all night am newbie to coding thanks.

Scooby Doo By DOOOO!!!! My favorite show ever! (As a kid)

guys just like you i myself a learner ,NOT A DEVELOPER at the moment .i can post loads n loads of links here ,coding is not a child's play and also remember this is the first time you doing any developmental work .So be good .
you better start with tutorials ,even though i have already requested you to check the all links i posted on the first post .Anyway! Learn with any example ,make friends who already have developed some thing for maemo .ask thier help .And if you think you are a good learner .Check this :http://www.developer.nokia.com/docum...Qt/QtForMaemo/ ( this is another project -tictactoe Tutorial )
may the community be with you !
