Welcome to ICS' April Newsletter
Despite advances in the tools, languages and hardware available to developers, software projects sometimes still run into trouble — they miss deadlines, hit intractable technical obstacles and run over budget. I’m giving a live webinar May 16 to share some effective ways to set your project up for success. Next week on April 30 there is also a live webinar on device safety and security from our partner BlackBerry QNX.
In the meanwhile, you can read this month’s blogs and articles on topics from the Qt Installer framework and layered architecture for automotive applications to UX of self-driving cars and the influence of UX in medical device development. You can also check out articles by our in-house experts published in Medical Design Technology and Embedded Computing Design magazines. And, don’t miss the story of our collaboration with open-source 3D printing firm Aleph Objects. Finally, we’ve published some new dates for our slate of popular technical training courses.
Lots of content to keep you busy!
