Over time, the KDE community has seen many people join and leave, as with any open source community, which means that very few people in the current community still […]
In this session we’ll see real life examples of using JNI on Android. We’ll start by checking the Qt 5.7 goodies which will make our lives easier, then we’ll see simple examples that you’ll need to use in almost any Qt on Android application, and we’ll end up with an Android Service made with Qt. […]
Physics Based Rendering (PBR) is the latest and greatest trend in real-time rendering yielding much more visually believable images than the traditional Phong or ad-hoc lighting models. The underlying concept is that the shaders should use physical principles in the encoded models – chief of which are conservation of energy and the Fresnel effect. PBR […]

Most of the time, this implies identifying the problem, creating and submitting a patch through the usual Qt contribution process, waiting […]

Quick: When you design C++ APIs, when and how should you use pair and tuple? The answer is as simple as it is surprising: Never. Ever. When we design APIs, we naturally strive for qualities such as readability, ease-of-use, and discoverability.
