The newly released Qt SDK 1.1 Tech Preview supports Qt Quick, a UI technology that enables developers and UI designers to work together and create animated, touch-enabled UIs and applications easily. The technology and tooling makes for such quick development, we thought we'd have a quick competition.
For your chance to win one of several new Nokia E7-00 devices (see the device specs page), you have about six weeks to create a new Forum Nokia Project or new Forum Nokia Wiki article (with code). This should be more than enough time to do something amazing, because:
- Qt Quick introduces QML, a declarative language that makes creating stunning UIs easy. (Your app logic can be written in any combination of QML, JavaScript, and Qt C++).
- [Qt SDK 1.1 Tech Preview] introduces a QML visual designer that allows round-trip updates from the visual pallette and resulting source-code files.
- [Qt SDK 1.1 Tech Preview] supports simulators to test your apps on Symbian, Maemo (Nokia N900), and desktop platforms.
- [Qt SDK 1.1 Tech Preview] handles all the packaging issues for you. Build SIS files for Symbian (required for the Projects division of the competition) and distribution packages for Maemo.
Think Quick: what amazing entry can you create? Entries are due by 6 March 2011.
