Software Development on Nokia Devices with Qt, Vortrag Freitag, 5. März 2010
When developing mobile applications for Nokia devices, the C++ based Qt framework is the new and optimal platform to choose. It allows creating apps compatible both to the upcoming Linux-based MeeGo (Maemo) and the open source Symbian environments. With the announcement of the Smart Installer and the recent introduction of a new toolchain, you can now start deploying commercial mobile Qt-based applications worldwide. In this lecture, you will get a basic overview of the technology and the possibilities for cross-platform development, to give you the facts to make decisions and to get you started.

Quick Start with Qt on Maemo/Symbian, Session on Saturday, 6. March 2010

You will learn about the basics of developing using Qt on the Symbian and the Maemo platform. During the session, we will set up the development environment and run a Hello World application on a Symbian/Maemo device or the emulator. You will also get background information on important topics like Platform Security and signing on Symbian devices, plus the necessary steps to get your final application on the Ovi Store.

Requirements for this tutorial:

• Windows XP / Vista / 7
• Around 7.5 GB free disk space for Qt + Symbian + Maemo

General hints:

• Install all tools to the same drive (e.g., C:\)
• Do not use network drives
• Use default installation paths. Be wary of paths that contain spaces / special characters
