C++ Modernization Brochure
New releases of the C++ language maintain incredibly strong backwards compatibility, making it easy to keep older C++ code working properly as standards march forward. C++11, C++14, and C++17 have transformed the C++ language in ways that make it as programmer-friendly as more recent languages but with many essential benefits that continue to make it […]
Porting Applications to Qt Best approaches and pitfalls to avoid when migrating your app from a legacy framework
KDAB has unique experience in porting the code base for toolkits like Qt 3, Qt 4, Motif, Java, Tcl, GTK, .NET, MFC, and Photon to Qt 5. Porting legacy GUI toolkits to Qt 5 is a job where proven experience saves a lot of time. In this presentation we highlight the main problems facing developers […]
Modernizing Legacy Systems A 10 Step Guide to Software Migration
Software migration is a lengthy process that sees hundreds of modules move from an obsolete framework to a much more preferable one. However, there are a number of pitfalls in a large porting effort that can significantly increase time, cost, and complexity, leading to risk of project derailment. Regardless of what your current system was […]

An existing code base can be a great asset, but it can also be a liability. Technical debt tends to build up over time, eventually reaching the point where something needs to be done. KDAB has unique experience in migrations as well as specialized tools and in-depth knowledge from migration projects in different industries with millions […]
Safety critical drawing with OpenGL SC The main sticking points when migrating OpenGL ES software to functionally safe OpenGL SC
Bringing software into a safety critical environment can be tricky, especially when using the complex APIs needed for modern 3D graphics. That’s what makes OpenGL SC (Safety Critical) so important: it bridges the gap between beautiful displays and functional safety, while trying to remain as close to existing embedded standards that we all know and love. OpenGL SC will only […]
Refactor Your OpenGL Legacy With Style QtCon presentation by Kevin Ottens
Using OpenGL code with Qt is a long love story… long enough that there might be skeletons in the closet. Indeed, the OpenGL code of your Qt application could have been written before the modernization of the OpenGL API to exploit better GPUs. In this talk, we will walk through a technique to help refactor […]
