HTML5 vs Qt {showcase}

One man, three weeks to create an application using HTML5 and three weeks using Qt. The result speaks for itself. And no, we didn't pay them to say this. Glad we met you at Embedded World, Sequality!

I'm sure Angular JS developers would go for HTML5, but really, I'm sticking with Qt C++

We are currently evaluating which Qt stack to use for an embedded device (ARMv7 667MHz). The battle is Qt4 vs Qt5 and QWidgets vs QML. We run full software rendering (no GPU available). And the first results show an impressive *increase* in resources (x2 in both CPU & RAM) from Qt4.8 to Qt 5.8 to run the same QML demo code!
I didn't expect that since they talked a lot about how much they optimized the QML with each Qt5 minor release. Well, may be with OpenGL rendering it's true. But in framebuffer, there's still a lot to do! We haven't tried Qt Lite + compiled QML though.

I got a Commercial Qt license for 7 months for free, all i needed todo was to tell them about my situation as a beginning Development Bussiness. They was kind and after applying some software, it seemed more an more pleasing. The first Month is over and i love to work with Qt, even i like Visual Studio more for bare C++ development. QtCreator is not bad at all. The QtStack offers alot of solutions for crossplatformdevelopment. I already know the differences between Linux and Windows development, with QtObjects you dont have to care at all.

This only proves that this developer is a high skilled Qt dev

Great !, we need more similar videos,

I think that today Qt/QML deserves to be better known,

Obviously the guys developing this "tech" product with HTML5 are HTML5 noobs. The lag they've had with the buttons is because there is a click delay on touchscreens on some HTML platforms such as safari, chrome, chromium, etc. If you want an instant reaction use onTouchStart, or onTouchEnd, it will be instant. Also nobody developed a multitouch handling for the image with JS and suddenly "html5 doesn't support it". You strongly recommend QT, I strongly recommend you to learn HTML5 better.

No doubt - like WPF - can QT make a decent looking functional UI however we had to abandon QT to HTML5 for more creative applications which use a lot of animations, special effects and WebGL/OpenGL layers. Mainly for rapid prototyping / development and a huge reduction in time to takes to create a polished beautiful experience.

What is the control for the left vertical menu with small light bluish tab (on qml version)?

[reghaargera]

I hope you guys can put that application as example projects in qt creator so qt user can learn it, we need more high quality example project like this to learn with, but if it "Proprietary stuff" you can ignore this comment haha

performance is better on QT than HTML5 but you could just buy a faster machine and save the huge license fees

How come JavaFX's split and tab panes on my old Ubuntu computer are instantaneous, but they are slow as hell in the video? Either the programmer has used some crooked implementation through interfacing CPP to JavaFx, or you intentionally demonstrate subpar devices my granny used to play with when she was a baby. In any case, the video is fake.

It's not about HTML5 vs QT, IMO it's about Browser vs Native application. "Of course", the native will be faster. In terms of development cost though, Browser apps will be cheaper and faster developed than native ones I guess. But hey what about QT vs Web assembly app? :)

What is the name of this event and where is it being held? Thanks.

[jsoftj]

Qt vs HTML, do you need it work in a web browser? No, use Qt.

[jaggyjut]

What about using react instead of angular. React is component based so should see better performance

[pawanadhikari]

The overhead of framework on HTML vs QT can't be comparable, html is so simple and I assume it would take much much more effort and time to develop same app on qt (because of the overload of its architecture and non intuitive framework)

[a_macaulay]

I'm a senior embedded engineer and we just moved from QML to HTML5 with very different results.(see below)

[husninazer]

I've worked on both and I should say QML will take you 'Manufactured'

[Ruhgtfo]

What kinds of fair is it so interesting

[angrycoder]

html5 so fast as qt5 but you make it like that🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
