    Overview

    Windows® Vista™ introduces a wealth of new possibilities for advanced rich-client applications targeting the world's most popular operating system. But, if you have selected C++ as your language of choice, you may be faced with some challenges in taking advantage of everything that Vista has to offer. This raises the question: how can you leverage your existing C++ code-base to develop native, high-performance rich client applications for Windows Vista?

    During this NetSeminar, we will address the following topics:

    • What are the inherent challenges in targeting Vista with C++?
    • How does the comprehensive Qt® C++ API allow you to create applications that look and feel at home on Vista?
    • How can you incorporate powerful features like multi-threading into your Vista application?
    • How can you leverage a single C++ code-base to target additional operating systems like Linux® and Mac® OS X?

    Every live attendee who also fills out the feedback form will be entered in a drawing to win a FREE Slim Devices Squeezebox (value of $299).*
