Developer Day Videos Now Available
We are pleased to make available the video tapes from Trolltech Developer
Day 2006 in Munich available. The videos are in English and require Flash. While videos do not replace the "real thing" we hope you find them useful and that they inspire you to attend the next event.
The Future of Hardware and Software Architecture
The topic on everyone’s lips these days is multi-core
technology and multi-threaded development. In order to take advantage of the
latest hardware advances, developers of high-performance applications need to
be well versed in both the concepts and specific techniques of multi-threaded
programming. So,
what is multi-threading? Why is it essential? And what are the mechanisms in Qt
that make multi-threading easier?
Professional Services Organization - Consultancy Services
In Trolltalk's last issue, we introduced Trolltech’s Professional
Services Organization (PSO) as a whole revealing three core functional
departments – Training, Support and Consultancy. This issue looks a
little closer at the consultancy side of Trolltech’s PSO.
Telephony Integration -- What's new in Qtopia 4.2
As Qtopia Phone Edition has evolved, so has
telephony. Cell networks such as GSM has been the standard, but now Voice Over
IP (VoIP) support on handsets is becoming increasingly common, with many phones
supporting both GSM and VoIP.
Bridging the Gap - Extending Open Source in Qtopia
With the release of Qtopia 4, Trolltech has bridged the gap between Qt and
Qtopia versions, and the (recent) Qtopia Open Source Edition release has made
available more Qtopia source code under the GPL than ever before.
Qt Application Development with Visual Studio .NET
Qt was recently featured in the December issue of Linux Magazine. The
article discusses how the Qt 4 Visual Studio integration now makes it
easier than ever for a Windows developer to develop cross-platform,
high-performance, C++ graphical user interface applications in the
leading Windows integrated development environment.

MeVis GmbH
 When MeVis, a non-profit research and development
centre, needed to build the MeVisLab cross-platform medical imaging platform,
they looked to Qt. Used by radiologists
and surgeons to share crucial imaging data in their battle against cancer and
diseases of the cardiovascular system, lungs and brain, MeVisLab demanded rich
image processing capabilities and high runtime performance. Learn more about how Qt helped MeVis deliver
on these requirements
