Qt Quick Controls revamped for embedded use

As the IoT slowly but relentless provides more and more devices, and while Qt is growing the list of supported embedded platforms (as I mentioned in a previous post), Qt team has been working on performance improvements, while they have also achieved implementing both Google’s Material Design and Microsoft’s Universal Design.

Working with devices using Embedded Linux?

Do you turn to be required to develop applications for devices running Embedded Linux? If so, chances are you can think of using Qt framework as your development environment since the list of supported devices keeps growing.

Qt for Google Native Client

I just found this project by chance, "Qt for Google Native Client" and it seems a very clever idea, opening a lot of possibilities for applications developed with Qt framework. It'll add a new platform for Qt, so confirming once more the "code once, run everywhere" motto.

New book "Application Development with Qt Creator, 2nd Edition" available

I found the book interesting for people new to Qt, since it uses Qt Creator to drive the reader through different aspects of developing a Qt application, both using the old approach of C++ API or the newer Qt Quick feature.

The book provides several examples, and even when I don't recommend it for experienced Qt developers, some of them with minimal or no exposure to Android application development, could still find the Qt/Android related information of some value.

Wrapping up, a good book for new comers to Qt, and likely useful for advanced users who are discovering some parts of Qt, like QML or Android.

Happy reading and coding!
