What are some good Qt related blogs/forums/sites to follow so one can learn more about developing with Qt? Also maybe some good (in terms of user interface richness) opensource apps that one can read the source code and learn from them.

Two good resources are:
If you really want to read source code (something i don't recommend), you should read the source code of a KDE application.

I would add http://www.planetqt.org/ to your list. It collects Qt related stuff from many individual blogs although many of the posts here do come from trolltech.

Why you don't recommend reading source code? It's a good way to learn about good coding style and best practices (depends of course on the source code - there is also crappy code out there ;) )

@Frank: Potential licensing / patent issues, I suppose. Although I don't agree - reading code is *the* way to learn :)

@Frank You said it, you can also learn about crappy coding practices without even knowing it just be reading at the wrong code. To learn about best practices, read a book about the topic.

@Matias Valdenegro: There is no "Effective Qt" or similar yet, and introductionary books are just that, they often only teach the basics, not how to apply things in the real world. So I would ask someone with a clue for a good implementation to have a look at. And even if there is crappy code, one can ask in forums and mailinglists for good, "idiomatic" Qt projects/code.

Also http://www.qtcentre.org/content/ and its wiki may be usable

http://qt-apps.org/ has a number of open source applications-source generally one of the download options. http://planetkde.org/ is a kde blog aggregator but there is occasionaly some qt-only stuff.
