What is Qt?• Develop C++ code only once

– Deploy for multiple platforms

– … with native look & feel!

• More than UI

– 23 modules, around 800 classes, 9000 functions

– Development tools: IDE, UI designer, help system, translation tool

• Maximum performance

– Native code on all platforms

– Still possible to use platform specific APIs!
