The free white paper compares Qt and Android in detail across three criteria:

  1. Framework functionality

  2. Development ease

  3. Development speed

For each criterium, Witekio’s experts explain how each framework performs and offer clear examples as to the strengths and weaknesses of each approach in the context of the development process. You can even find their source codes at the end of the white paper!
