I learned this amazing C++ based GUI framework called "QT" (cute :)) in 2003. At that time it was owned by Trolltech. I developed UI for a Digital Cinema system which was used to project movies in theaters. Amazing framework to work with and lots of good doc for developers.


That sounds like a fascinating thing on its own. Any chance you’ve written about that experience somewhere? If you ever did, I’d love to read it.


Now that I look back, I should have written about those good old days. Here are few press releases about the product https://www.dcinematoday.com/dc/pr?newsID=74 https://www.dcinematoday.com/dc/pr?newsID=247

I wish there were screenshots of the UI. I did lot of customization of many UI componentents like slider, ListView and much much more.


Screenshots would have been fun to see - I'm always fascinated by projects like these that are part of an industry-wide transition to something new. Especially considering you probably didn't have much or any prior works to guide what you built.

Thanks for sharing the press releases!
