“Low-code Qt apps with Design Studio and SCXML”

  by Marco Piccolino

Abstract

In the current software development landscape, low-code and no-code application frameworks are gaining traction, as they allow non-developer professionals (such as designers and domain experts) to directly contribute to digital products.

Qt is not a low-code framework tout-court. However, thanks to its rich tooling and many modules, some components / layers of an application can actually be created without the need to write code. Two examples are visual UI implementation with Qt Design Studio and visual logic implementation with Qt SCXML and Qt Creator’s SCXML Editor.

In this talk I will present a case study where both approaches were successfully leveraged to help a customer with a restricted development team customize a reference application template for different use cases with little effort.
