Qt Updates and Events

The Qt World Summit takes place in Berlin next week, Monday through Wednesday.

Qt 5.5.1 is still not quite ready for release, but it should be "soon".

Inspired by Halloween, I'd like to present a list of ten "scary" mistakes using Qt. Based on the wide experience of ICS with Qt consulting projects.

I recently returned from the Qt World Summit conference and wanted to share a brief report on some of the highlights of the show.

Qt provides a nice facility to handle this in a more elegant way: file selectors. In this blog post. I'll look at what Qt provides, for both C++ and QML, and show a simple but complete program example.

Qt News and Views

All Qt 5.5.1 blockers should have fixes in.  The hope is to release 5.5.1 this week.
