“Almost two months after the technical preview was released, the
development of version 4.7 of the cross-platform Qt C++ framework
for GUI applications is beginning to take shape, as Nokia has now
presented a beta version. A beta of the Qt Creator 2.0 development
environment, which is part of the framework, has also been
released. The developers highlight the integration of Qt Quick (Qt
UI Creation Kit) as the prominent feature of the next version of
Qt. Qt Quick is a tool collection for creating animated,
touch-enabled Qt interfaces and applications for mobile and
embedded devices.“Among other things, Qt Quick allows user interfaces to be
programmed in the Qt Markup Language (QML), which is similar to CSS
and JavaScript. This language is designed to simplify the creation
of modern user interfaces and make Qt available to a larger
community of developers and designers. The software package also
contains QtDeclarative, a C++ library for writing dynamic and
custom interfaces.”
