Since 1999, KDAB has been the largest independent Qt consultancy worldwide and today is a Qt Platinum partner. Our experts can help you with any aspect of software development with Qt and QML.
At KDAB, we’ve fine-tuned the migration process over more than 15 years, successfully migrating software from a wide variety of frameworks – with the majority migrating to Qt. Based on our experience, we know that regardless of the framework, operating system, or language, all migrations share common steps that ensure success and have common pitfalls that derail the best of efforts.
This whitepaper distills our expertise in a short but detailed guide to help you effectively evaluate whether a migration makes sense for your current system, and to help you outline and execute your own.
While desktop development shares a lot of best practices with other types of software, a few things make it stand apart. Development of an application that sits on a user's desktop, no matter what that consists of, requires a flexible design. Desktop applications are bigger than programs for embedded and IoT and they demand an architecture more complex than server or cloud apps with their tightly controlled environments. Here are some of our best practices for building these complex desktop applications.
If you need insights into improving productivity, this essential developer’s guide to containers will help you manage projects cross-platform, seamlessly.
The need for safety-critical systems with user-friendly interfaces is on the rise. To respond to this need, the Khronos Group (responsible for OpenGL, etc) has introduced OpenGL SC, a new standard that enables graphics in safety critical applications. This whitepaper, written in 2017, reviews the basic differences in moving from OpenGL ES to OpenGL SC, to help you quickly determine what’s needed in skills and software to make the change.
Before creating your first embedded Linux device, you need to determine how you want to build your software. After all, the tools and development processes for embedded Linux may be quite different from what you’re used to with smaller microcontroller-based or bare-metal systems. If you want a well-designed, easy-to-maintain, and cost-effective solution, take the time to research your options and keep in mind the following key considerations.
Deciding on the various software components in your stack is a crucial step when creating your first embedded Linux device. You want to build a stack that meets your objectives now and brings continued value in the future. However, there are so many tools you can combine to build and maintain a successful product it can be challenging to know where to start.
This whitepaper examines your choices for the entire software stack, from the OS to the application, and gives you things to consider at every step.
Today’s system-on-chip processors have a huge array of resources to contribute to your solution: multiple cores and on-board DSPs, graphics engines and display controllers, peripheral support and connectivity interfaces, and more. A new hardware platform entails a costly investment. This is a guide to the many factors to take into account when choosing CPU hardware
Enhance the performance of your Android project with KDAB's expertise in integrating C++, Qt, and third-party libraries. This page discusses how KDAB can help you create stunning UIs for various applications, improve computation efficiency, and leverage Android as a prototyping platform. Discover why KDAB is the preferred choice for Qt on Android services and how we can support your development needs.
The first module in a whitepaper series on designing your first embedded device; it covers the beginning and ending of the product development process. At the onset of a new project are a handful of critical choices that shape and constrain every other decision down the line. Similar “up front” decisions around your expected customer experience influence your ability to update or change your product after it’s already in the customer’s hands. These decisions frame the entire development process.
