Using the QML engine and QtQuick scenegraph to introspect and analyze performance. Abstract: A fluid and performant user interface in QtQuick applications is an important factor, especially considering that users increasingly demand an “iPhone-like” experience, while at same time, applications often run on a resource-constrained embedded system. What can be done when a QtQuick application […]

Introducing Qt3D 2.0
JamesTurner and Giuseppe D’Angelo are introducing Qt3D 2.0
QtWidgets and QtQuick Controls – A Comparison
Kevin Krammer compares QtWidgets and QtQuick Controls.
QtWebChannel – Bridging the Gap between HTML and Qt
Abstract: The new QtWebChannel module is a ready-to-use solution to make any QObject accessible to arbitrary JavaScript clients. KDAB already uses it in production for a client project on embedded devices, where it proofed to be an essential part for the HTML app framework embedded in a QML chrome. Thanks to QObject introspection, any object […]
Additional Qt libraries outside Qt Project
David Faure speaks about additional Qt libraries outside Qt Projects.
DIY moc – Dynamic Meta Objects
Abstract: Moc’s job is two-fold: it generates the qt_metacall() member function that dispatches incoming calls to slots and implements reading and writing of properties, and it generates the QMetaObject containing information about what signals, slots and properties are available, providing runtime introspection capabilities. All of this is fixed at compile time though, a limitation that […]
Contributing to Qt — hands on
Abstract: With the launch of the Qt Project in 2011 it has been made possible for everyone, individual or organization, to directly submit patches to the Qt codebase. Whether it’s a small fix to the documentation, an improvement to existing code, or even a brand new module altogether, the procedure is the same. The presentation […]
From QtWidgets Legacy to QtQuick and beyond
Abstract: It is easier and easier to create a proper QtQuick application from scratch. But is it really that simple to bring existing code in the QtQuick structure? It can get especially challenging for a large project which collected C++ collected over more than 15 years. What can we do of all that code? Temptation […]
OpenGL with Qt 5
Abstract: Qt5 introduces better support for OpenGL from the QPA/Lighthouse abstraction, through a new set of OpenGL classes up to QtQuick 2 and Qt3D. OpenGL is also very often used for games and as the central content widget in desktop applications. With the advent of QtQuick 2 it is now easy to write entire user […]
Modern Shader-based OpenGL Techniques
Abstract: Modern OpenGL abandons the old fixed-function pipeline in exchange for a programmable pipeline using shaders and buffer objects. This offers much more flexibility to developers and opens the door to a huge range of effects and techniques whilst at the same time making available huge performance improvements. This presentation will teach you about the […]
