BB10: Tutorial: Custom QML components
June 24, 2012

https://developer.blackberry.com/cascades/documentation/ui/custom_components/custom_components_tutorial.html

I'm really enjoying the tutorials that have been created for learning Cascades.

This tutorial, which results in a little post card app, is a great demonstration of Cascades.

What tops it off is that changes to the post card's size and rotation are animated for free.

The whole BB10 / Cascades experience seems pretty exciting, all the way from the languages and dev tools used, to the end user experience.

Wow, what an elegant way to create custom controls. This is top notch.


BB10: JavaScript in QML

The inclusion of JavaScript into Cascades is fascinating to me. Perhaps it's a stroke of genius.

It allows a developer to hook things up in QML very quickly and efficiently, and yet allows C++ to be used as needed as well. How exactly the JavaScript and C++ code can interact is still unknown to me, but what I've seen so far looks great.
