Developing a smartphone application with Qt Quick

Session Abstract

Luca has been working with Qt and C++ for over 5 years and has developed numerous applications with this framework for desktop and mobile devices. Throughout his journey, he has explored topics such as artificial intelligence and functional programming, appreciating their abstract and pragmatic aspects.

How do you write a smartphone application with Qt Quick? We will explore the basics of Qt Quick programming and how to set up the development environment for porting to mobile.

This workshop aims to become familiar with the Qt Quick framework and understand the differences between desktop and smartphone development.

In the first part, we will introduce Qt Quick by writing a simple application, and in the second part, we will show how to adapt it to an Android device.
