Qt QuickStart Seminars

Building Embedded, Mobile and Desktop

Applications with Sophisticated UIs

Qt allows you to write advanced applications and UIs once and deploy them across desktop and embedded operating systems without rewriting the source code, saving time and development cost. Whether you're an advanced Qt developer or just considering using Qt on your next project, join us for a Qt QuickStart and learn what Qt can do for you.

Topics will include:

Accelerating Your Software Development Process with Qt
What's New in Qt 4.8 and What's Coming in Qt 5

*One attendee per city will win a free UX design review by the ICS UX design team. Review will be completed at a mutually agreed upon time after the event and includes up to four hours of consulting for a heuristic review of your current UI design to help improve the user experience. Some limitations may apply.
