Welcome to ICS' June Newsletter

Summer is in full swing and ICS has been as busy as ever with medical, security, IVI and Industrial IoT projects. The Qt community has been busy too, with recent releases of Qt Creator 4.3.0 and Qt 5.9.0 which will be a long term support release and supported for three years. To help you make the most of Qt we’re presenting a Best Practices in Qt Quick/QML summer webinar series, as well as a special webinar on QML geared toward designers. Next month I’ll share ICS’ take on the benefits of Qt Commercial.

We hope you find our June issue — which is also packed with articles on UX and development best practices — informative. If so, please share it with your colleagues!
