Akademy 2013 Keynote: Jolla's Vesa-Matti Hartikainen (KDE.News)

[Posted June 27, 2013 by jake]

KDE.News has an interview with Jolla engineer Vesa-Matti Hartikainen who will be giving a keynote at KDE's Akademy conference in mid-July. The interview covers various topics, from the history of Jolla (and how it came out of MeeGo and the N9 Nokia phone efforts) to the use of Qt in Jolla's Sailfish OS. "For Jolla, Qt is a first class citizen. For developing apps using QML, we put a lot of effort into making them as good as possible. We have an awesome team working on the Sailfish Silica component set. It includes many of the original core developers of the QML language and runtime. And we have really experienced app developers from N9 and other Nokia projects. On the middleware level, a lot of the lower level APIs now have quite good Qt bindings for C++ developers."
