Qt Articles
I just received a nice mail from a guy called James S. Gibbons. He tipped me about his collection of programming tips, in particular three articles touching Qt. One on Qt in soft real-time systems, one on Qt, threading and sharing and the last one on data-aware dialogs using Qt. As I love to see Qt writing in the wild, I used these as a starting point for the articles collection for thelins.se/qt.
Personally, I was intrigued by the article on the real-time aspects of Qt. James has spent some time benchmarking some Qt classes to their corresponding STL and VCL (Borland stuff) classes - and Qt proved to be very competitive. Yet another proof of the quality of the Qt product.
Relating to my last blog post on Qt communities, these articles is something that are a Good Thing. Providing the community members with articles (i.e. knowledge) must be one of the pillars of a good community. So all of you writing out there - keep it up. And if you want me to link to your articles, tell me.
Also on community issues - I'm going to DevDays in München. Hope to see you there!

As far as Qt classes are concerned, Bradley Hughes has performed a benchmark run as well. The scope was a bit different but results are very interesting. The full article with detailed explanation is available here:

Hi,
I found the article very useful as well, but I the archive Qt_RealtimeIO_App.zip is broken. There is no author's e-mail on the page and I can't ask him directly. If you have the file, could you please send it to me on e-mail sobolevsp@mail.ru? Or please forward this comment to James.
Thanks in advance,
Sergey
Hi Sergey,
I've forwarded your question and email to James, I'm sure he'll respond.
Now the file should be ok.
