Forum Nokia just published the QML UI Templates Library which provides commonly used UI-components for generic use with QML. This library is not meant to replace the official Qt Components-project but to provide larger templates for developers to take a look and utilize in their own projects.
The UI Templates Library contains reusable UI elements and templates used in the example applications RSSReader Example and Restaurant Application Example.
They are aimed to be the basic building blocks of QML applications focusing on the UI. They are not only elementary UI components, like buttons or switches, but rather more comprehensive templates like four views with tab navigation bar or a list view + details view integrated.

Nokia World and Nokia Developer Summit 2010 event is now over and I need to say that it was a great event! Lots of exciting news and devices were announced during the event, lots of inspiring sessions and great people from all over the world. I finally had the opportunity to meet in person some of the people behind Forum Nokia as well as many other Forum Nokia Champions.
If you want to have a clear view of what happened there, just visit the Nokia World 2010 and Nokia Developer Summit 2010 sites to find webcasts of the keynote presentations.
Finally, take a look at the cool devices announced during the event: S40 Touch and Type Devices and three new Symbian^3 smartphones. You can find some pictures of the event here. Ah, I was forgetting a small thing: Nokia greeted us with a pre-commercial N8-00. Thank you Nokia!
Nokia Developers just went live with my interview about Nokia development, Flash Lite and 10x10 Mobile. Thanks to Alessandro for the opportunity! Take a look.
This year The Nokia Developer Summit and Nokia World will take place at ExCeL London, Sept 14-15. Nokia will run both events bringing together people from every part of the global mobile community for an even richer event, with insights into every aspect of the mobile industry.
This is a great opportunity for every mobile developer. I'll attend both events thanks to Forum Nokia! See you there.
(via Vivek) - Forum Nokia released a simple and useful AIR app to help mobile developers and designers to easily build mobile prototypes running on real devices: Flowella! With this tool you can have an interactive prototype without writing a single line of code, watch the video below:
Flowella is an easy to use tool that enables designers and developers to create design prototypes — without writing a line of code. Prototypes are built using images of screen mock-ups and defining links between the screens. This information is then used to create an Adobe Flash Lite 3.0 application or Web Runtime (WRT) widget. These applications can then be run on one of over seventy Nokia devices or in a simulator supplied with Flowella, enabling the application interaction to be assessed.
Thanks to the Forum Nokia Champion Programme I just got my complimentary copy of the Qt for Symbian book. I really look forward to take a closer look at Qt and hope this book will help me moving first steps!
I would like to mention that along with the launch of the Nokia N8 Nokia has also released the Nokia Qt SDK Beta. The Nokia N8 is the company's first device to be integrated with Qt, a cross-platform software development environment. Qt simplifies development and makes it possible to build applications once, then deploy them across Symbian and other software platforms.
(via Forum Nokia) - The visual style of a Web Runtime widget can make or break the success of the app. The Widget Design Tutorial guides designers through the visual styling of a Web Runtime widget using XHTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). The widget uses the COLOURlovers.com web API, and allows users to search for and view popular colours, palettes, and patterns.
he Hue widget described in this tutorial is specifically designed and optimised for the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic device but can be used with all S60 5th Edition Devices. You can download a copy of the widget from the Forum Nokia website.
