Qt Quick best practices, getting started

lavonius | 10 November, 2011 10:17

We're kicking off a new series of articles in the blog, on best practices in using Qt Quick (concentrating on the QML language).

The series will be written by Michael Hasselmann. He works for Openismus, and has been involved in developing the virtual keyboard of N9 since early 2010. He began experimenting with Qt Quick when UX designers in the Harmattan project started to adapt Qt Quick into the plans. 

This series aims at introducing best practices on Qt Quick development by analyzing how the concepts can be used efficiently and by providing advice to avoid common pitfalls. Readers are encouraged to participate in article discussions in this blog.

A basic understanding of the Qt Quick in general and QML language specifically is assumed. The introduction to the language and the tutorial are great places to start. The introduction can be read during a lunch break and should be sufficient to follow this article series, whereas the tutorial – even if relatively short – might take an afternoon to try out and fully understand.

The series will start off this Friday with an analysis of property bindings, demonstrating the flexibility and usefulness of an essential language concept. Future articles are planned to appear roughly once per week. 

The benefits of a featured best practice might not always be obvious or convincing enough. Readers should not hesitate to provide feedback or ask for clarifications in the comments section. 

This series is the second guest-written topic in the blog. We remain open for future proposals - both for topics and authors.
