September 2026 News for Professional Developers
AI-Assisted Code Modernization, Distrobox, and New KDAB Videos
7 October 2026
Welcome to the September edition of the KDAB newsletter podcast. This month, we look at how to use AI effectively in code modernization and migration projects without sacrificing review-ability, test coverage, or long-term maintainability.
We also begin an in-depth developer guide to Distrobox, a practical way to create tightly integrated Linux development environments without the overhead of full virtual machines.
You will further find new additions to three KDAB video series: The Curious Developer, Inter-process Communication with Qt, and Qt Development in CLion. Plus, we have upcoming C++ and Rust training opportunities, a recap of Oxidize 2026, dates for the technical events ahead, and an audio edition of last month’s newsletter.
