BOFs

qtcreator bof

How to participate
People who want to participate in this BOF contact Thorsten via chat.
Goal
We want to learn tricks how to use our time most effectively with Qt Creator. We want to learn and document how we best move existing KDE programs towards Qt Creator. As an example, if you do not have a .ui file for your UI, you will not be as effective as you could be with Qt Creator.
Topics
  • What about KDevelop and Eclipse?
  • How to create a new project with qtcreator
  • How to import an existing project (kdepim) into qtcreator
