\title Getting Started with Qt
\brief A quick guide for developers
\section1 Downloading and Installing Qt
The \l{Opensource Downloads}{Downloads} page contains Qt download links,
where Qt and Qt Creator can be downloaded for different development
platforms.
\section2 Installing with the Installation Program
The Qt Installation Program can download the Qt libraries and tools as well
as the reference documentation and code samples. The \l{Qt Installation
Program} page contains information about installation process.
\section2 Installing from the Qt Sources
Qt may also be installed from the sources. Simply download the sources
(available from the \l{Opensource Downloads}{Downloads} page) and follow the
instructions according to the development platform page here:
\l Installation.
\section1 Exploring the Tools
\l{Qt Creator}, the Qt IDE, allows quick development time by integrating
tools such as a code editor, a UI designer, a debugger, and other project
management tools such as version control.
For more information, these pages describe the tools and processes involved:
\list
\li \l{Development Tools}
\li \l{Qt Creator Manual}
\endlist
\section1 Creating Applications Using Qt
Qt 5's modularized nature means that modules may be omitted during the
build process, producing libraries that are smaller in size and with
less complexities. Depending on their support and target platforms,
modules are either an \e essential or an \e add-on.
These pages explain the modules and the support level for different
platforms: \list \li \l{All Modules}{Qt Modules} \li \l{Supported Platforms}
\endlist
To help you on your way, we created two tutorials creating two similar
applications, but using different approaches. One implements the user
interface using Qt Quick, while the other uses Qt Widgets.
\list
\li \l{Getting Started Programming with Qt Widgets}
\li \l{Getting Started Programming with Qt Quick}
\endlist
\section1 Where to Go from Here
We invite you to explore the rest of Qt. We prepared overviews which help
you decide which APIs to use and our examples demonstrate how to use our
API.
\list
\li \l{Qt Overviews} - list of topics about application development
\li \l{Qt Examples and Tutorials}{Examples and Tutorials} - code samples and tutorials
\li \l{Qt Reference Pages} - a listing of C++ and QML APIs
\endlist
Qt's vibrant and active community site, \l{http://qt-project.org} houses
a wiki, a forum, and additional learning guides and presentations.
