Hi,
I have been looking at the demos and examples we have in Qt and how we
can clean them up for Qt5.
In Qt 4.7 there are 293 examples, 40 demos and 10 tutorials (not
counting Mobility).
For Qt5 we are going to remove the 4 "Qt for Embedded Linux" examples
since they are not relevant anymore with Lighthouse in place (they
will be replaced with Lighthouse examples). Of the remaining examples
about 10-15 do not depend on the soon to be Widgets module.
Herein lies the reason for this request for feedback. What to do with
the other 275 examples? Do we move them all to the widgets module? Do
we keep them as is in their respective module and ifdef them? Do we
port some of the to not use the widgets module (either QML or Console
only)? Etc.
On the one hand: porting is a good effort to try if the QML framework is
actually up for it. On the other hand, I fear that porting all the
examples too early might lead to them becomming too much QML examples
rather than examples for the functionality you want to show. As it
stands, you still need more code to produce a usable, basic UI in QML
than you need for the widget world. Also, it was stated on this list
that the move to make QML the prime UI paradigm would not be pushed for
5.0 yet, so perhaps there is no rush to move all the example over either.
Then there is of course also the point of what other demos and
examples we need. If you feel a particular section of Qt is not
represented in the demos/examples this is now also the time to let us
know.
The multithreading code needs much more and better examples. Currently,
the documentation for QThread is way out of sync with the
recommendations in the well known You Are Doing It Wrong blog post.
