Qt jobs
-
There is a lot of scope for Qt outside Symbian. I know a friend who did a Qt project in IISC in Jan-09. Other than this I guess many companies have it in use. Dunno about the job market in India/Bangalore.
In this "link":http://qt.nokia.com/services-partners/qt-in-education/qt-in-education-course-material in L1: The ideas behind Qt and live demo Slide 20 - Qt Today, you can find a comparison of Qt vs Java vs .Net jobs.And if you are interested to know more about Qt related activities in India, "KDE India Conf 2011":http://kde.in/conf/ would be a good place to attend :)

[quote author="qtrahul" date="1294236344"]And one more thing,,,,
There are more devices which can be targeted by Qt Developer other than Nokia N8.Nokia C7
Nokia E7
Nokia C6-01So, I think Qt's future is good.[/quote]
Rahul, I have Qt working on my E90 ... so any S60 3rd Edition FP2 and above should work fine. I've got a few "are you interested to join us" mails via devnet, mostly local startups

Hi friends,
Thanks for all your responses. There are oppurtunities for Qt developers outside the mobile world and infact I think most of the Qt jobs currently are not mobile ones. My concern was about Qt mobile jobs. As ucomesdag pointed out, Qt jobs will increase only when Meego devices become popular. On Symbian, there is J2me and Symbian c++. I think most of the application development is done in J2me though. But J2me future don't look good.

But if you take application or products for Symbian platform - its symbian c++ and now Qt is coming up. Expect lot of Qt based apps in Ovi store by next quarter.

No one can say you the right way, only you can choose. BTW, there is a port to android and there are some notes about port to iphone (but this one is closed and nobody knows if it will be opensource some day).

thanks Denis. I have more than 4 year exp. in symbian and do not want to leave this platform.
i have also started learning Qt and Qml.but most of the people are moving toward android and iphone. that is why i am confused.
No one can tell me the right way but you can suggest me. -
I have about 4-5 years experience in Qt programming (I've started with Qt3) and can say that I like progress of this framework. I've tried Android programming a little (some years ago before first release of Android and now as part of our Qt-based project tht works at Android), but I don't like Java. And I've never tried Obj-C, only saw couple of examples.
So I will suggest you using Qt of course. -
thanks a lot denis for suggestion. i found this place very help full.

Nokia chooses Windows phone 7 as its primary platform. So the future of Qt doesn't look bright anymore. I'am sad to say this. I love Qt strongly. Symbian and Meego will be given less importance and no Qt for WP7. Who will buy phones when the parent company itself doesn't fully support the OS ? So I suppose most Symbian customers will move to Android. So to develop for Nokia, go learn .NET. Good for .Net devs if the strategy works.
Sanjay, I suggest Android or iPhone. With this strategy the future of Nokia itself doesn't look very good.

yes. i am feeling same.i love symbian and Qt very much.i am working on symbian from last 5 years.
but now i am also very sad. i do not like objective C and java .but for survive i have to choose one of them. -
Sanjay and Jayakrishnan, you could also chk the Qt presentations and statements made today in MWC about Qt. Qt is not just going away, there was a blog entry on Qt website about this ...
Even if one tried, Qt just can't be killed as long as its licensed under LGPL since there is an entire Qt community behind it. Till now at least I've not seen any press release/statement from Nokia that mentions reduction in investment on Qt from Nokia's side. -
yes. i do not work on C#.I would like to work on window if only if it support the qt.
-
I also vote for Qt. But I am surprised to see less number of development job openings for Qt in India compared to the requirements of Qt trainers!
