Upcoming Event: Meet Qt Pittsburgh, PA Greater Area

Someone once said, "When it rains, it pours."  Usually, that is a bad thing, but in my case it appears to be a good thing.  I already hinted that I may soon be working on another book about Qt.  That project seems to be going well.

Just after finding out about that, I stumbled into an opportunity to do a Lightning Talk at a Qt event.

I will be giving a Lightning Talk at Meet Qt in Pittsburgh, PA on October 17, 2019.

The "Meet Qt Pittsburgh Greater Area" is a free, half day conference about Qt.

As soon as I heard about the event, I immediately thought of a couple of topics.

The first one was working with State Charts (Machines) in Qt Creator. With a couple of clicks you can turn them into C++ code that you can add to your project.  We have done it several times on a couple of projects here at Caliber Imaging & Diagnostics, and it is really nice to be able to simply update a drawing and fix the behaviour of a system.

While I really like to talk about Qt's SCXML support, I didn't think I could justice to it in 10-15 minutes.

The other topic came out of a question asked during a presentation of Qt's new level of MCU support. Imagine running Qt directly on an MCU without needing an OS!

The question was simple, "How can I develop Qt code if I don't have the hardware?" Great question, and the topic I will be dealing with at Meet Qt, Pittsburgh.

If you are interested in more information about this free event, check out the event page for it at https://www.qt.io/events/meet-qt-pittsburg-1565888110.

I hope to see you there!
