We've just returned from the Qt Developer Days San Francisco conference last week and I wanted to share a brief report on some of the highlights of the show.

Model/View With BlackBerry 10 Cascades

The Cascades framework lets you create UIs for the BlackBerry Application Platform with relative ease. This Qt based framework can be used to develop native applications for the BlackBerry 10 mobile platform. It supports development in C++ and/or QML.

The QML Presentation System

With Qt Developer Days 2013 rapidly approaching, a number of Qt developers are busy preparing presentations for the conference, myself included. I thought it would be timely to give an overview of the QML Presentation System.

A Multilayered Architecture for Qt Quick

The architecture of a Qt Quick application is the difference between pain and joy. A good architecture makes C++ and QML integration seem natural, while a poor and muddled architecture makes it an exercise in frustration.

Qt and C++11

With most C++ compilers now providing good support for the latest language standard, C++11, let's look at some of the new language features that are particularly useful for use in Qt programs.

The Qt 5 Multimedia QML Elements

Qt 5 introduced a new set of multimedia APIs. Both C++ and QML APIs are provided. In this blog post, I will give an overview of the QML APIs for multimedia.

The Qt Installer Framework

In this blog post, we'll take a very brief look at the Qt Installer Framework.

Integrating C++ with QML

Qt Quick's QML language makes it easy to do a lot of things, especially fancy animated user interfaces. However, there are some things that either can't be done or are not really suitable for implementing in QML. As we'll see, Qt makes it quite easy to expose C++ code to QML. In this blog post I'll show an example of doing this with a small but functional application.

This year's Qt Contributors Summit was held in conjunction with KDE Akademy in Bilbao, Spain.

Integrating a Custom Widget into Qt Designer

This blog post will describe how to write a custom Qt widget and how to integrate it into Qt Designer so that you can drag and drop it onto your designs. It will also provide an understanding of important differences between Qt 4 and Qt 5 when it comes to creating designable widgets.

What's New in Qt 5.1: The QtSensors Module

Introduction

The QtSensors module is a new feature in Qt 5.1. It provides access to sensor hardware from QML and C++.

What's New in Qt 5.1: The Qt Quick Controls

The Qt 5.1 release contains a new module known as the Qt Quick Controls. These provide a set of reusable UI components similar to Qt's widgets that can be used from QML. This long awaited module makes it much easier to develop desktop type applications using QML, something that was hard to do using just the low level QML items provided up to now.
