This hands-on training is offered both virtually and in-person in our Waltham, Massachusetts headquarters. Whichever way you choose, we will teach you how to build a Qt application for an embedded device. Our lab exercises will use a Raspberry Pi but the concepts could be applied to embedded development on most boards. We will give you a thorough understanding on how to use QML and the Qt API to create an application from an empty screen to a full graphic user interface.
The course runs from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm ET each day.
If you are attending virtually, recorded sessions will be available on-demand, but since the labs build upon themselves it’s recommended you attend the live sessions as much as possible.
To participate in this course virtually you will need to obtain the required hardware and attend a pre-course meeting with the instructor to ensure you have the hardware set-up correctly. If you are attending in person we will provide the hardware and you will have the option to take it home for an additional fee.
Cost

In-person early-bird*: $2,495
