And today you can actually use QML (a dialect of JavaScript) to get up and
running in no time. http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt_Quick_Tutorial  regarding
project files, how to compile and where to enter the code - hop on to
either #qt or #qt-qml on freenode (you need an IRC client, I use irssi) and
we'd be happy to help!

This is true, although you could go developing with the book I've
mentioned, it is better to understand to the core what you are doing,
however if you stick to QML it is a different protective abstraction so no
prior c++ patterns are needed just a bit of grasp for event driven
development.
