Brainstorm

Submitted this suggestion as a feature request: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-24726 Thank you Eddy !

Think enterprise. C# is still the top language in StackOverflow. Mono is generally more popular server side and mobile. qt support is poor, and you only really have gtk for portability which makes this news interesting. Mono is on as many platforms as qt, including Native Client.

Hi Zap Thanks for the answer - sorry it has taken a few days for me to get back, have been changing projects in my day job. Basically you have confirmed my own thinking on this issue, but I did not want to preempt the discussion in any way. I also liked the point that using states "puts all the logic in one place". In the case of my app the state is simple "on / off", so adding a state might be a little overkill (just a whiff of cargo cult programming ...), but were the number of states to increase, the case for using states rather than "bindings with logic" would become all the more compelling.

For me, my opinion is that the database gives you much more easily when then use that data. Perhaps it is that I feel confident in mysql and then we can do things with, but it all depends on what you do at the end, like said Andre in the previous post.

hi, If it's done by the firefox plugin it is mostly done by JavaScript. You could try to do the same by running evaluateJavaScript(..) for every QWebFrame and it's subframes. (m_webView->page()->mainFrame()->evaluateJavaScript() ) or at the other hand you may try to use QNetworkAccessManager to get the reply before it's provided to QWebPage and change it there. Hope it helped. AP

Just seems like we are splitting hairs on what general means. I'm just interested if anyone uses Qt in this fashion, and if they do how? It seems like Qt would be perfect for such a task. There are other ways to use VISA, but I'm not interested in those. When I refer to techno babble, I"m referring to what some people call the mathematician's answer. Technically correct but otherwise worthless. Microsoft has lots of documentation like that. (not saying they are the only ones) Their best practices for security on older system, is useless information but its still correct. I think I might ask this question a different way in the C++ gurus programming. Since you are right you don't need Qt to use the libraries, but I'm not for sure what other free tools are out there. I don't like wxWidgets, tutorials are a pain to use.

How about using a version control system?

No stress... Do you by any chance know anyone who will be willing to build/develop the apps

Thank you joonhwan! I will have a look at this one!

Thanks again for sharing your experience bms! Sebastian

I think app stores are a popular concept today not because they are original or innovative, at least in my opinion, but because they are simple for the user to understand and (ab)use. After all, an app store is nothing more than a remote repository with search indexes and download facilities...uhm...sounds to me like a software repo we already have for linux and unix (and mac os). What is interesting about an app store is the visibility it gives to your application. Besides this, I don't think we will never ever have a single way of app store when dealing with different operating systems. We cannot even agree on a format for current projects (ports, deb, rpm, pkg, ips, opencsw, tarballs, exe, zip, dmg, ....) and being Qt a cross platform developing environment I don't think we will have easily one for it. Even getting a cross-buildfarm will not be so simple due to different dependencies (databases for instance). Maybe something can be achieved with plugins, but it sounds to me that each big vendor will have its own distribution store. By the way, the app cafe used in pcbsd is a qt application that works as an app store. Quite simple, easy to work with, and worth to mention not because works for qt, but because is built on top of it.

Let me put it like this: I am all but convincened. However, nothing is stopping you from creating a (demo) implementation, and proposing it via development@qt-project.org or via Gerrit.

Thx a lot for your hint, I think that is actually what I am looking for, now I just need to figure out how to bridge it with PySide. Thank you :)

thanks, Andre. After the Wayland Platform Plugin for 5.0 again becomes compatible with Wayland GIT, I'll be working through that one as well. It's fallen a bit behind Wayland, some of the library calls are incompatble -- and that's something which should, IMO, be fixed by Trolls who can discuss their options during the day. If I tried "playing with it", without any discussion, I'd probably end up with a rewrite which wouldn't fit the overall Qt strategy. But I know, almost exactly, how to write my part -- after the rest of the plugin receives an overhaul.

' C++ GUI Programming with Qt4 ' is very easy, given you have enough knowledge in c++. Don't understand what you find difficult.

Well, I would like to join the dev team. However, I have to find time. I will look for its IRC channel Thanks all :)

Well, OK, then I forget that one in my file format plans :) Thanks anyway!
