Introduction to the QT Framework using C++ and QML

Join us at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, August 5th as Alan Uthoff presents "Introduction to the QT Framework using C++ and QML."

The Qt framework has a long history and a large code base with many modules.We will go over briefly the history of QT and how you can harness this fantastic framework to make your C++ apps easier and faster to develop. We will go over the main QT modules, signals & slots, QT’s Meta-Object-Compiler (moc), and also so talk briefly about how to use QML with your C++ code. It's a fantastic framework to make great cross platform C++ applications easily and painlessly.

He has been programming professionally in C++ for over 9 years. In his free time he works on developing his open-source graphics engine, which was used by an indie studio to submit a game demo to Microsoft, and his latest project, an open-source joystick library. He belongs to several professional Meetup groups and organizes and runs the GameSalad Meetup group. He enjoys games from the aspect of both a player and a creator and takes great pleasure in creating technology that helps others make their dreams of creating games a reality.

The talk will take place at Rackspace's Austin office, located on the East side of IH-35 right before Rundberg and after Henna Chevrolet (there is a sign for Rackspace which is visible from the highway). Feel free to park in the same lot as the big Rackspace flag.
