The class utilizes real development boards with touchscreens for each participant and introduces students to working with embedded touchscreen systems. Further, fundamentals of programming with Qt will be covered to give participants a thorough understanding of the underlying ideas of QML and QtQuick. Efficient and robust design of applications for touchscreen enabled devices utilizing the latest QtQuick techniques is the central focus of this class. As such, architectural considerations for creating applications consisting of beautiful and highly responsive presentation layers, backed by solid back-end implementations are important learning goals for participants.

In the course, we will use the Raspberry Pi embedded system and a multi-point touchscreen. After the class, you may keep the board and touchscreen for a discounted fee of $172.50 plus tax. This is optional and we will loan you a touchscreen and board at no extra charge if you prefer.
