Welcome to ICS' August Newsletter
As summer fades, our attention turns to the Qt World Summit, set for Oct. 29-30 in Boston. We have a full slate of intriguing pre-conference training sessions planned for the summit. I’ll also be giving a talk on proven ways to avoid most of the obstacles that can derail your efforts when developing a product or application.
To help you solve complex work problems in the meantime, this August issue is jam-packed with interesting content. You can read about input masks and validators in the QML environment, the rise of the natural user interface, and the ease of building cross-platform software. And don’t miss part 2 of our Qt Developer’s Bag of Tricks ebook. You also can take advantage of a number of ICS training opportunities, including OpenGL with Qt and Programming with Qt for Embedded Devices, as well as check out our library of on-demand Qt and UX webinars.
So enjoy one last barbecue or trip to the beach before back-to-school fully takes hold. And make plans to catch us at the Qt World Summit. Hope to see you in Boston in October!
Enjoy,
Peter Winston, CEO, ICS
