Pre-conference Training: Introduction to Multithreaded Programming with Qt

Target Audience: Qt Developers interested in multithreaded development.

Prerequisite: Existing Qt knowledge. Basic understanding of multithreaded programming is also an advantage.

With more and more cores in computers, multithreaded programming is becoming increasingly important for developers. Qt offers several mechanisms for multithreading, however, it is up to you to decide which to use when so that you steer clear of common pitfalls.

This training will introduce you to multithreading concepts in general, tell you about the different mechanism in Qt, and discuss best practices and common pitfalls.

It is a requirement that you at least know the basics of Qt for this training.
