Webinar Overview

The borders between traditional rich-client applications and the web are quickly becoming blurred, with a combination of local and web content and services forming the basis of the next-generation of user experiences. Companies like Apple®, Adobe® and Google™ are leaders in this field and rely on the open source browser engine WebKit to deliver the flexibility and richness of the web to their users.

Qt® - the cross-platform C++ application framework - integrates tightly with WebKit. Together, these technologies open up new possibilities for creating web-enriched applications that incorporate online content and services such as maps, music stores and instant messaging. Applications built with Qt can then be deployed across multiple desktop operating systems and embedded devices, without rewriting the source code.

In this session, we will discuss how you can use Qt together with WebKit to build and deploy web-enriched applications that combine online and offline content into a seamless user experience. Using WebKit, native application code can call web environment code - and vice versa - enabling new ways of web interoperability. We will discuss how to blend web and local content, rapidly create applications that incorporate real-time web content and services, and show you how to integrate HTML, JavaScript HTML, XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, SVG and AJAX into your native applications from a simple and intuitive API.
