Apps for the Ubuntu Phone
|
Good Starts
You can now start using various tutorials to get a handle on QML; experienced JavaScript users have a clear advantage here. Planella's aforementioned tutorial [4] is a good start, and he refers to the QML API [6] to help learn about the currently available elements.
Qt 5 developers also provide "Qt Essentials" [7] for creating a QML graphical interface. Canonical also is likely to publish an SDK for "Ubuntu for phones" that might reduce some of the current complexities. Interested developers can also get involved in "Ubuntu for phones" with their content under Canonical's privacy policy [3].
