NIK Keynote: Developing for the long term - Lessons learned through 20 years of Qt
by Dr. Lars Knoll
Abstract
Qt is a C++ based development framework originally created by a Norwegian startup named Trolltech. After some years where Nokia owned the technology, it is now being developed by an independent company again. Through all the changes on the business side, we have continued to evolve the product and keep it relevant in the market. Some of the guiding principles established in the early years such as a strong focus on API design and quality, a will to continuously re-invent our product and our cooperation with the Open Source community have made this possible.
