Another option for getting into programming is via a book.
Personally, I really liked the Head First design patterns and object oriented design books.
The Java book of this series was too simple for my taste but I think it is intended as introductory book anyway.
I don't know other books of this series but I really like their approach on communicating knowledge.

(Yes, I know, the examples I list above are primarily targeting Java but there are also books in this series that cover other languages and despite the focus on a specific language the concepts like design patterns can be applied more universally.)


PS:
With books it is also more likely to find a good translation in other languages than English.
Nonetheless, imho, most information about programming and computer science in general is in english.
Thus, trying to get into the english literature (not only books but also blogs, API docs, etc.) is important as well.

PPS:
By the way, I don't want to sound like a Head First sales guy.
I am sure that there are also many other great books out there.

PPPS:
And like others said, practicing and having fun is also very important.

I don't know if it's what you're looking for, but on the left tool bar in both sf-sdk and qt qtcreator , you have a Help button.

In there you can find all functions available for qt and silica (silica only in sf-sdk qtcreator's Help).

Look in the content section, there is a brief description of each qt modules and also a list of all QML type for this module.

Good luck!
