Qt roadmap – from Qt 6.8 to 6.9 and more into the future

Like any product, each Qt release has various highlights. Let's have a look at a few selected highlights in Qt 6.8 and talk about ongoing works for 6.9. Many of them follow paths on which we want to evolve Qt. And even that has one ultimate goal: as always, we want you to code less and create more! Let's have a look at what is in the works and where you feel you need to write too much dump code 😉

Bringing IoT to Light: Connecting a Smart Lamp to AWS IoT with Qt/QML and ExpressLink

This presentation demonstrates a practical approach to building a connected IoT device using AWS IoT, Qt/QML, and ExpressLink. We’ll explore the development of a smart lamp application that integrates color and brightness settings, custom presets, and automation features, all synced across multiple mobile clients while also supporting local control via an intuitive QML interface. Using Qt C++ for device-side logic and Qt/QML for both the Android client and device interaction, the project leverages AWS IoT's shadow device service to maintain real-time state synchronization. At the heart of this setup is the AWS IoT ExpressLink device, which manages cloud connectivity through a serial interface. We’ll walk through the architecture, focusing on how signals and commands from AWS IoT are routed via an API to interact with QML-based UI components. This project demonstrates a reliable model for creating IoT-enabled applications with robust cloud connectivity, making it an ideal case study for integrating AWS IoT shadow devices with versatile Qt/QML applications that support both remote and local control.

Qt Quick is for the front end, and another language is for the back end. Which language, then?

In The Qt Company, there is the "QML Next" initiative. With this, we want to expand the use of QML as a language and Qt Quick as a UI framework beyond well-known patterns with Qt C++. Even though there are bindings for Python in Qt for Python, we want to explore which other languages can be used with Qt for backend functionality. We have ongoing work for a few languages, and we are interested in your take on this approach. Do you use different languages in one product and project? With Qt? Which languages are those? This talk will have a short presentation followed by a discussion where your feedback is in focus.
