What's New in Qt?
The current top priority is to get a Qt 5.7 Beta released. Toward the end of the month, assuming the Beta is released by then, we expect to see a 5.6.1 release as well.
A large discussion/debate over replacing Qt Creator is in progress: https://www.mail-archive.com/interest@qt-project.org/msg20986.html
ICS is pleased to bring you this introductory 5 part webinar series that will introduce students to the Qt framework. Each webinar, one of our seasoned engineers will give an overview of a specific aspect of the Qt framework. A basic knowledge of the C++ programming language is required, but the webinar will include a short refresher on the required C++ and object-oriented concepts needed to use Qt. It is also recommended that those wishing to learn from this series, attend each webinar in succession.
