I learned c++ and Qt (version 1.44 at that time) by the very good tutorial 
shipped with the qt documentation. Two months ago a co-worker of mine used 
them too, now he kind of understands what I am doing in my code all day.

Long time ago I heard that every programmer should have written an email 
client, and ftp client and an editor. Don't know if that still applies. Why 
not start with small applets for plasma and go on to much deeper things later 
on. And don't get distracted by the bindings to other languages like 
python,... ;-)

If you want them to read books (on the level after the direct beginners): "The 
C++ programming language" by Bjarn Stroustroup(?) (the guy who invented 
c++), "Design pattern" by the gang of four and "GUI-programming with Qt4" are 
the ones I own and read.

Have fun,

Arnold
