License to be Qt

Like my esteemed colleague at KDAB I’m also now a Nokia Certified Qt Developer!

Nokia Certified Qt Developer

Given that I just was an assistant on my first KDAB Qt training course in Berlin last week I’m happy I haven’t let down my fellow Qt experts at KDAB; I’m at the company meeting in Iceland so would never hear the end of it if I’d not passed…

There’s been some horse riding (which I boycotted in favour of cake), whale eating (tastes like moist beef and was a non-endangered species, absolving my guilt), soaking in the Blue Lagoon and much banter has been had. I’ve also been fighting with our time-tracking tool, Charm (which is in KDE SVN) to try and get Carbon and Cocoa events working nicely side-by-side (Carbon is the C-based API that is not supported for 64-bit applications, which are the default on 10.6). I was pleased to see that Qt Creator (my current C++ IDE of choice) also supports limited amounts of Objective C which has made things slightly less confusing for a certified Qt Developer ;)

I may have to hurt you for that pun.

Hope Iceland went well – sounds like it did!
I saw a whale in Oz, but didn’t eat any of it for two reasons:

      looked too big for my limited appetite and
      couldn’t swim that far offshore.

Also, until your blog, I thought a blue lagoon was a cocktail for girls…? Seems not.
