| ae0000 | hello.. i'm pretty interested in making a couple of small apps for ubuntu phone and trying to decide what to put my energy into learning. For phone dev, is their much difference between using python versus c++ via qt5 etc.? | 22:35 |
|---|---|---|
| ae0000 | are the bindings between qml and python very good? I'd prefer to use python | 22:39 |
| GuidoPallemans | only javascript and c++ are supported for now | 22:39 |
| GuidoPallemans | python is not | 22:40 |
| ae0000 | ah ok | 22:40 |
| ae0000 | are there performance issues using js instead of c++? | 22:41 |
| JanC | QML uses EcmaScript/JavaScript AFAIK | 22:41 |
| JanC | I guess the C++ is more for the backend stuff then? | 22:42 |
| * JanC might be totally wrong ;) | 22:42 | |
| GuidoPallemans | not purely, but it is encouraged to use javascript | 22:44 |
| GuidoPallemans | integrates much better too | 22:44 |
| ae0000 | i haven't used qt or anything before.. but is qml a markup for qt... which is a UI framework for C++ apps. and you can use js in qml for logic stuff... ubuntu has its own set of components you can plugin to qt/qml.. is this about the size of it? | 22:45 |
| ae0000 | trying to get my head around phone dev | 22:45 |
| JanC | GuidoPallemans: you are also from Belgium, right? ☺ | 22:46 |
| GuidoPallemans | yup | 22:47 |
| JanC | there is also #ubuntu-be & our mailing list etc. ;-) | 22:47 |
| GuidoPallemans | oh nice | 22:47 |
| GuidoPallemans | where do i subscribe to the mailing list? | 22:48 |
| JanC | https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be | 22:48 |
| GuidoPallemans | thanks! | 22:48 |
| JanC | it's not always very active, but still should give you some idea about what activities we are planning | 22:49 |
| JanC | (for support we use -nl/-fr/-de channels & lists & forums) | 22:49 |
