Short Abstract:
This presentation introduces you to the Qt Quick Controls and other related modules. We will demonstrate how to make use of them in your applications and invite you to discuss various aspects of their design.

Abstract:
With Qt 5.1, we are introducing a range of new features to make life easier for developers who want to develop Qt Quick applications for the desktop as well as on mobile devices. The new Qt Quick Controls module gives you access to a wide range of ready-made controls such as buttons, sliders, splitters and tabs. In addition, we are adding related functionality to improve the control of layouts and creation of standard dialogs. This presentation aims to give a brief introduction to the most important aspects of these new modules and to demonstrate how you can easily make great desktop applications with Qt Quick in Qt 5.1.

The presentation consists primarily of live coding using Qt Quick, but should be accessible to anyone with previous programming experience and also covers some of the basics of Qt Quick itself. After this presentation you should have a good overview of how to build applications with Qt Quick Controls and how to best make use of them.
