Qt World Summit 2018

As a gold sponsor, ICS ​is bringing our expertise to The Qt World Summit in Boston this October. We're offering a variety of pre-conference training sessions on everything from Hands-on Qt for Embedded on Toradex to Qt for Medical Devices. Learn More >>

Peter_Profile.pngWelcome to ICS' September Newsletter

September has been filled with excitement at ICS. Not only have we put the finishing touches on our sessions for the upcoming Qt World Summit — hope to see you in Boston October 29 and 30! — but we’ve expanded our firm with the launch of a new brand devoted to user experience (UX) design.

We established Boston UX (www.bostonux.com) in response to escalating demand for our design services — we’ve seen a significant increase in customer requests over the last three years. While ICS is still focused squarely on custom software development, Boston UX is dedicated to designing compelling touchscreen interfaces for high-impact embedded and connected medical, industrial and consumer devices. You can read more about Boston UX in this issue.

Also this month we’re offering an assortment of technical content, including articles on Python and QCompleter, as well as live training courses. Design content includes an insightful article on the challenges of designing for embedded, and a piece exploring the role of robots in the design space.

Enjoy,
Peter Winston, CEO, ICS
