Daddy is a Qt geek

Should we call the social services to warn them of a father exposing his children to Qt at such an early age ? :-) Nah...As a matter of fact, why not teach Qt and QML in kindergartens ? :-) Look at what a 6 years old artist and his father can accomplish in few hours :

Qt and QML is child's play isn't it ? The source code can be found here

Nokia and Digia partnership



After the announcement by recently appointed Nokia CEO Stephen Elop of a new business model in favor of Windows mobile 7, heated debates took place about the future of Qt. After many twists and turns, Nokia opted for a transfer of its commercial software licensing and professional services business to Digia.

Module "QtQuick" is not installed

Some of you might have encountered the message module "QtQuick" is not installed
import QtQuick 1.0
^

This message simply means that the Qt toolkit you are using is a version prior to version 4.7.1. Only from version 4.7.1 you will be able to use the QtQuick module.

First solution:

Change in your qml files the header import QtQuick 1.0 to import Qt 4.7

Second solution:

Download Qt 4.7.1 or higher :


Make sure that the Qt version used by QtCreator is the right one. You can add Qt version 4.7.1 from the preferences:


Just set Qt SDK 4.7.1 binary qmake and enter a proper name in the version name text field.

When you import or create a project select from the Project setup dialog window the Qt version 4.7.1 you just set up. You will be also able to to select the Qt version 4.7.1 for the simulator if you previously set it up in the preferences Qt versions:

Two-in-one

Yes they did it! Mobile and desktop development in one package. The new Qt SDK 1.1 Technology Preview released is a merge of the Nokia Qt SDK 1.0 which is based on the Qt 4.6.3 and the last Qt SDK based on Qt 4.7. One word of caution though. As this release is still unstable, applications using it for production will not be accepted to the Ovi Store.
