• And then some Qt stuff – What is Qt? Compiling Qt apps, Qt Memory Handling, Qt Designer and TranslaJons, using the class library
MOTIVATION
Why?
• C++, the mother of all languages. :D • C and C++ are one of the most used languages (see Jobe)
• Most Java developers are preUy clueless about some basic programming related issues (memory handling, pointers)..
C++ vs. Qt?
• C++ is language, and Qt is C++ framework. • Nokia and Qt? – 2010: Nokia: Qt is the main framework for building apps for Symbian and upcoming MeeGo Devices
– 2011: Nokia and MS sign strategic Je-‐up; focus on Windows Phone 7.. Symbian will die and MeeGo put aside
– 2012: Digia acquires Qt • Today: Cross-‐plalorm framework for mulJple plalorms, also mobile!
About Qt Framework • C++ framework for building apps for desktop and mobile
• NaIve apps! • Target mulJple plalorms: Windows, Linux, Mac (symbian + meeGo)
• Qt 5.2: Mobile EdiIon! – Android, iOS …
• Very clean and easy framework • Good tools and IDEs • Excellent documentaJon
