I'm in sympathy with TexRat here. A lot of commercial application developers have grown up in the MS world as that is what the corporate world tends to be using a lot of the time.

Whilst the Wiki has a lot of information I think we could get a LOT more devs onboard if we had a walk through in a sample application from start to finish. Bring in elements and references to the design guidelines etceteras along the way to form a way of working. If we can find something simple enough as an application but covering a few basic areas I suspect we are onto a winner. Maybe even go with a series of simple applications?
Charles Petzold, whilst in the Windows camp, did some good examples for the Windows world, surely we can for Maemo too?

As I remember, he wrote books and people bought them. Mark Summerfield ("Rapid GUI programming with Python and Qt", Prentice hall) is the Charles Petzold of PyQt, no free online resource even comes close.

For those who will not pay for anything except hardware, there is an older (2001) book by Boudewijn Rempt available online:
http://www.commandprompt.com/community/pyqt/

It stops at Qt3 however, so while the basic stuff may still apply, some may be deprecated, and a lot more is simply missing...

Great, now we need to cover C++ too so we have both main approaches covered. How about maybe showing the solutions in a bilingual WiKi? That would also help those people wanting to know where one approach differs from the other?
