On 2008, Nokia has purchased the Swedish company Trolltech for their cross platform UI framework Qt.
During the following two years, Nokia has invested great effort in porting this stable framework to their mobile devices.
Today, it is finally possible to develop an application in Qt and compile that same code to run on desktop and mobile operating systems, including: Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, Symbian, Windows Mobile and Nokia and Intel’s new OS MeeGo.

The course uses Nokia's official training materials and real world examples
