QT Programming Language Support
The Qt API is implemented in C++, and provides additional features for easier cross-platform development. QML – introduced with Qt 4.7 – QML is a JavaScript-based declarative, language designed to describe the user interface of a program: both what it looks like, and how it behaves. Bindings to Qt exist for several other languages, including Ada
C++ Development with Qt
Qt provides an intuitive C++ class library with a rich set of application build blocks for C++ development. Qt goes beyond C++ in the areas of inter-object communication and flexibility for advanced GUI development. Qt adds the following features to C++:- Powerful mechanism for inter-object communication called signals and slots
- Queryable and designable object properties
- Powerful events and events filters
- Contextual string translation for internationalization
- Sophisticated interval driven timers that make it possible to elegantly integrate many tasks in an event-driven GUI
- Hierarchical and queryable object trees that organize object ownership in a natural way
- Guarded pointers that are automatically set to 0 when the referenced object is destroyed, unlike normal C++ pointers which become dangling pointers when their objects are destroyed
- A dynamic cast that works across library boundaries.
QML Development with Qt
QML is a declarative, JavaScript-based language designed to describe the user interface of a program: both what it looks like, and how it behaves.
· JavaScript, HTML and CSS skills can be used to code complete apps
· Optimized for touch-based, animated mobile UIs
· Includes a set of graphical and behavioural building blocks: QML Elements
· No C++ knowledge required, but can be extended with C++.
Additional Language Bindings
Qt bindings exist for several other languages
· Ada
· Pascal
· Perl
· PHP
· Ruby
Qt for Java Development
Qt Jambi – Qt bindings to the Java programming language – has been discontinued in order to focus resources on the Qt cross platform application and UI framework. Qt Jambi is available for download under the LGPL v2.1 license at http://qt.nokia.com/downloads.
