How can I get started with developing apps for Ubuntu Touch?

Question

I am interested in trying the new Ubuntu for phones OS development. (I am not an Ubuntu developer, I am new to Ubuntu. Impressed by the Ubuntu Touch preview, I got interested in learning how to develop for it).

Where can I start with it? I can't find any guidance on the Ubuntu site.

These links should get you started:

Reference: Welcome to Ubuntu apps development!
Sample App: Tutorials | Ubuntu Developer

How to run the app:
Once you get all of the SDK installed, you can connect your device via USB, QtCreator will be able to detect it, then press Ctrl+F12 to run it on the device.

@mhall119, Thanks for the information. Have added it to the answer. – saji89 Mar 30 '13 at 04:37
which language is used for developing apps, `QML` or `HTML 5` ?? – Krunal Jun 24 '13 at 10:46
@Krunal, `QML` is used to develop the UI component, the actual application(scripting) is done through `JS`. You can find sample code by referring the sample app link posted above. – saji89 Jun 24 '13 at 18:00

There is a 34 part QML Tutorial series by Joseph Mills on YouTube. You can download the tutorials using youtube-dl, which is a terminal app that you can install from the default Ubuntu repositories.
