Food for thought - if you're not adhering to native look'n'feel, your only
(melting) advantage to the various cross-platform Web-frameworks is
performance. The classic benefit of cross-platform frameworks was
minimizing development efforts, and the web is (warning: biased opinion
ahead) actually doing a better job at this than oldschool native-language
frameworks. Without the desire to get into a web-vs-native flamewar, the
strongest argument for a non-web cross-platform framework is not that
it gets "close" to native app feel, but that you can't distinguish
native apps
from those written with the framework, and this includes look and feel, too.

Hi,
In my opinion, the real power of QML is precisely the fact that you
don’t need to stick to the native iOS/Android look and keep the exact
same look and feel on both platforms (obviously you will have some
limitations but depending on the kind of application you are
developing, they will be easily overpassed).
Regarding the components, with listview, repeaters, rows, columns,
grid, etc you will definitely be able to do almost everything you need.
For more desktop like controls you have QtQuickControls subset (some
of them might also be useful for general application development ex:
StackView). For elastic layouts you should investigate QtQuickLayouts
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qtquickcontrols-index.html
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qtquicklayouts-index.html
Creating custom components in QML is also a breeze.
I think that most important to retain is the paradigm shift. Taking
advantage of states, bindings, etc instead of making changes in
response to events “by hand”.
The most important steps is to do something. After a couple of small
applications you will be up and running in not time.
QML Book is definitely a nice resource for learning. Qt documentation
as well!
Take this info into account as well:

Hi all,
I started learning QML and would like to ask for some directions.
My purpose is for mobile development, I've already done a few
projects using Qt/C++ for desktop, but I didn't code anything for mobile.
The first thing I was trying to find is if there's already some
standard mobile components for qml, like side menu, button bars,
grids, etc.
Something that would make easier to have a mockup on Fluid or
something similar, and then implement it on QML.
Would be great to have components that'll look native at IOS and
Android, or at least something like a "Bootstrap" for QML.
or if I should do implement this components myself.
I tried to search for a set of components like that but couldn't find
anything.
I'm reading this book btw: http://qmlbook.org/
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Daniel França
