Incredibly Simple QR generation in QML
Wrapping tiny JS libraries in QML to do quick and simple things effortlessly and elegantly
|
|
|
|
by Matt Aber and Javier O. Cordero Pérez
|
As the subtitle reveals, our authors are pretty chuffed about having cracked a way for our designer to simply display a few QR codes for an Android app in QML.
They did it without having to resort to the hitherto best existing QML solution, QZXing, a feature-rich library that’s a great choice for a complex coding task, but over the top for this simple purpose.
Next time, our designer will have this quick and easy solution to hand and so can you.

Optimizing Embedded Product Design
The case for off-the-shelf boards
|
|
|
|
|
|
Choosing the right system-on-chip (SoC) is probably your first consideration when designing an embedded product, followed closely by deciding whether to use an off-the-shelf board or design your own.
Nathan guides you through the choices available to you.

The Embedded Developer’s Dilemma in Choosing Hardware

|
|
|
also by Nathan Collins
In the run up to Embedded World in Nuremberg, we’ll be bringing you a series of blogs focused on critical areas in embedded development.
In this one, Nathan Collins (seen here) homes in on what you need to take into account when choosing a hardware vendor and cost-effective board for your product, that will hold up over time.

Code Browser gets a major update
New C++ libraries and Rust and Flutter browsing
|
|
|
|
We used to refer to codebrowser as a really useful tool for navigating C++ open source code, with proper semantic highlighting and tool tips. Which indeed it is. But this update offers you even more.
Besides new libraries written in C++ and, among others, Dart SDK and Flutter Engine, you can now also browse Rust and Flutter.

|
|
This month, KDAB’s Nicolas Arnaud-Cormos and Milosz Kosobucki give us four short videos with names that pretty much tell you what you’ll get.
If you’re a C++ and/or Qt programmer working on Windows, save yourself a heap of time, and add what they offer to your skillset.
