Welcome to ICS' May Newsletter

Welcome – just in time for the warmer weather we're launching our summer webinar series designed to help you use Qt/QML to its fullest. In Part 1 on June 8 I'll give you a strong foundation, covering the basics like Qt properties and declarative code. And I’ll build from there, offering real-world insight and helpful tips to make your job easier.

We also have a variety of in-person training opportunities on Qt, as well as an on-demand webinar on automotive IVI and blogs on QML controls, medical device product development teams and more. If you happen to still be using Motif for your development efforts, but looking to make the move to Qt, join us for a special Motif ⟶ Qt webinar on May 25. I hope you can join us for one or more events and if you find this information valuable please share it with your colleagues!
