Hello everyone, I am new to GUI programming, but I have been using Plasma for years and I would like to try my hand at writing a GUI application myself using KDE's technologies. However, the KDE stack is quite daunting: first you have C++, then Qt, then QML, then KDE Frameworks, then Kirigami, and finally somewhere on top of the stack my code is supposed to reside. I tried coding along with the KDE starter tutorial, but found that there is a lot of prerequisite knowledge I need first in order to make sense of the code.
My question is, what prerequisite knowledge do I need and what is the best way of learning it? Obviously I need to know C++ and I am decently familiar with the language. The next question is Qt, which I tried to get into, but the official resources are very divorced from KDE and the Qt company really badly wants you to use their entire suite of tools. I'm afraid that will send me down the wrong rabbit hole. Are there some "Qt the KDE way" resources available? I want to do as much work as reasonably possible through code rather than GUI tools. I have a very well decked out Neovim setup, so that's my editor of choice if it matters. I prefer written resources, even books (if they are not outdated), but video tutorials are fine as well.
