Slint is an Open Source GUI toolkit for Desktop and Embedded. It is written in Rust, and comes with a declarative UI description language that compiles into native Rust code. We will present Slint and show how you can build an reactive GUI in Rust

One of the question that often comes out is "Are We GUI Yet?". i.e. can you use Rust to create user interfaces? Our answer to that question is "Yes, with Slint"

Slint is an Open Source GUI toolkit. It scales from desktop platforms all the way down to micro controllers with only a couple of hundred of KB of RAM.

Thanks to the great tooling around Rust, it is also really easy to build a UI that can run on multiple different platform: Desktop native UI, wasm in the browser, or MCUs.

This presentation will be a presentation of Slint, demonstrating what you can do with it and how to use it.

There is a lot of existing code and libraries written in C++. The cpp crates allow to embed easily C++ within your rust code so you can call interoperate with the existing C++ code. In this talk, we will see how to use this create and how it works behind the scenes. As an example, we will look at the qmetaobject which expose Qt api to Rust.

In this talk we will see how one can use the clang libraries to build two practical tools. The first tool is an online C/C++ online code browser that uses clang to parse the AST in order to provide information about each token and build a cross reference database. [http://code.woboq.org] The second tool is a replacement for Qt's moc (meta-object compiler) which is used by Qt to provide introspection and enable signals and slots and the QML language, both as a stand alone executable or as a clang plugin. [https://github.com/woboq/moc-ng] The talk goes over implementation details and challenges encountered while developing.

C++11 is the name for the new C++ standard that is already implemented in most of mainstream compilers. It introduces new features and paradigms that makes C++ somtimes feel like a new language. This talks will introduce you to the new features. It will also cover how C++11 is used within Qt.
