3. Technical overview Why Qt 1. Qt 4.8.2 C++ . This is what I already know . 2. Relaying on Qt buildin structures for easy portability between platforms like : QString , QMap,QVector , Qthread = Cross platform Threads QtNetwork = Cross platform http/s networking QSettings = Cross platform read/write in memory key/value 3. Easy GUI framework , based on MVC and delegators to extend widgets 4. Flexible SIGNAL/SLOTS system attaching callbacks to every thing , from any ware in the code . Really good time savers!!
4. IDE(s) • Visual studio express 2008 , windows xp./ windows 7 at first • Then moved to Qt Creator , to be able doing Linux port . support cross compilation out of the box . • Using QMake system with *.pro files ,very easy for porting one configuration to all your development recourses .
5. External Libraries Open source libraries used • jsoncpp – cross platform C based read / write json structures used for Facebook Graph API • mongoose – cross platform C Based small embedded web server used to host the flash YouTube player • FB-graph-cpp – Qt bassed Facebook authentication and API framework QWebkit based Authentication for desktop apps Facebook API framework
6. Time Of Development 1. 6 months of development in my spare time . Thanks to Qt fast development framework and previous project: FB-graph-cpp that was mature , developed basic prototype in 2 weeks. 2. Single developer , open sourced 3. Using Facebook & YouTube Api’s 4. Driving force : love to the music ,positive feedback ,using it every day found out it’s a must to continue ! Current status 1. Still not finished 2. Embedding Mplayer for YouTube streaming and media playback 3. Needs GUI designer , the application GUI looks like crap .
