The website of the month for July 2010 is this article on rubber ducking on the Nokia Qt Developer Network's website, suggested by bencord0. Rubber duck debugging, also known by various other descriptions such as having a cardboard programmer, helps programmers with basic debugging by involving them explaining their code to an inanimate object - the concept originally comes from programmers explaining their problematic code to another programmer and, while doing so, spotting mistakes themselves with no input necessary from the programmer the code is being explained to (it therefore makes sense, to avoid wasting the time of others, to replace the programmer having the code explained to him/her with an inanimate object).

Website of the month, July 2010...
Also, the developer.qt.nokia.com site is your one stop shop for all your Qt needs. Useful for developing on the Desktop (Win, OS X, Linux) or mobile device (HTC using windows mobile and esp. all modern Nokia phones included).[1]

Over time, I think the docs will transition away from pure C++. There's QML and Python (via PySide) support soon.

[1] not sure about android, it doesn't use native C++. Conversely, Opera is written using Qt so maybe they have a port
