QML Code Reload: Discover What’s New with Alex Leutgöb | #QtWS23

Abstract: Code reloading is a technique that allows developers to update the application’s source code at runtime. By using code reloading in your Qt Quick project, you can achieve short iteration cycles and speed up development. This talk discusses how to implement code reloading in Qt-based applications for Embedded, Desktop, Mobile, and WebAssembly. We explore different techniques, their advantages, and drawbacks, as well as the best tools to use for optimal performance. The audience will gain valuable insights about Qt 6 and why it is an ideal framework for code reloading. Through practical examples and demos, attendees will discover how to create high-quality applications with fast iteration cycles. The talk offers a unique perspective on code reloading and demonstrates how to combine QML, Qt 6, and various tools to achieve a seamless development experience. In conclusion, this talk provides attendees with an in-depth understanding of how to use QML and Qt 6 to enable code reloading in their applications. It offers a valuable opportunity to gain insights and practical knowledge on code reloading, which significantly improves the development experience and reduces time-to-market.
