Description

A two-day workshop about the state of Qt's documentation. The aim is to get a clearer high-level vision for the docs, and establish a few key actions to proceed with to make that vision a part of reality.

Contact the Qt documentation team for further information or to let us know you'll join (yes, you should!).

Preliminary agenda

  • How to renew, drop, and create new examples?
  • What do we want to achieve with examples/demos/tutorials? What are the objectives for the user to learn from each example?
    • How do these relate to the certification process we have?
  • How to create examples, tutorials, which explain why something is implemented in a certain way?
  • How to categorize/prioritize examples and tutorials?
  • Qt Creator vs. our own structure within the documentation
  • Learning track(s) for different topics/technologies (certification as a goal?)
  • How to create even better tutorials for first comers?
    • For example, Hello World, which really explains how to add modules, headers, source files, and other resources.
    • How much of this can/should be covered by Qt Creator's Wizards?
  • How to improve the usability of the documentation?
    • Usability of online and offline documentation
    • Utilizing Analytics and/or User studies?
