Convert GUI to Qt

$1500-3000 USD

$1500-3000 USD

Paid on delivery
We have an instrument with embedded software, with a GUI written using a custom widget library on top of DirectFB. The software is split up in a server and a client. The client code has been succesfully converted to Qt. However, the server also has its own UI which is used for factory/service access. This is basically GUI with a dozen pages full of simple buttons and text fields. This GUI is never seen by end customers, hence replacing it is relatively low priority. However, the use of DirectFB in the server currently hampers portability of the code, and as software architect I'd like to get this out of the way before it poses a real problem. Knowledge of DirectFB is not required - the current code is ugly but works, and it's easy to see from the code what each button is supposed to do. It's basically full of OnQuerySomeInstrumentValueClicked() { someTextField->SetValue(instrument->QuerySomeValue()); } Contact me to discuss the project. We can provide a working VM with the entire project in it. NDA is requested, because otherwise we'd have to strip the code from sensitive stuff and prepare a special VM specifically for this project. Qt is already installed on the VM (since it's already used for the client UI).

Hi! If you take a look at my portfolio you'll see that I have past experience developing Qt applications, most recently the CuteSpotify app for various mobile Qt based platforms. While this makes use of QML for its interface aspects I also have experience creating QtWidget based applications (a recent example being Erudite, an Amazon book reading client using QtWidgets and QtWebKit). So whether you want a more traditional desktop style application based around QtWidgets or a more touch friendly interface based around QML I can help you out. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions. Thanks, Mike.

Dear Sir, My name is Mustafa Elnaquib, I'm a medical software developer for more than seven years, during which I developed many Software for many desktop and embedded platforms. Related work experience, -Qt almost on all platoforms, using almost all modules, and many 3rd party libraries and tools. -Qt in embedded platforms, Patient monitor, robotics, and many other projects. -DVB receiver, which had its SDK originally in DFB. ported some of its examples over to Qt. **NOTE** Although I'm new to freelancer.com, I have well established profiles on other sites. I'd like a chance to discuss this further, as my estimate on time and effort here are not accurate. Thank you, Mustafa Elnaquib.

I am a Qt expert I can do your conversion very well. Please contact me to proceed further. I am ready to sign NDA agreement. Please let me know if you're interested to work with me. I will in need of your project server which needs to be converted. Also I will be needing the client for testing. approximately I will need 25 days to convert your project. But you need to create milestones for partly basis. I am ready to sign the NDA agreement so that you can be sure your code is secured with me. I am an expert in Qt have done many conversion from other tools to Qt. If you provide virtual machine then I need flexibility to work at an interval basis so that whenever i want I can access the machine during working hrs. Still I may need you to share your code with me so that I can test faster locally in my machine. You need to guide for setting it up and make working with your current version. I know a bit of DirectFB so you wont have any problem in teahine me DirectFB. I can do it faster. If you're interested please msg me we will start soon. Thanks Sujan

A well-defined, straightforward project, and I get to rip out lots of old ugly code? I love it. Haven't touched DirectFB, and it's been a while since I've hacked on a Qt app, but I'm sure I'll be up to speed soon enough. NDA is no problem.

I have experience both in c++ as well as Qt GUI development (developing and applying a custom component library in qml,code such as buttons, radio buttons, gauges, fill bars) running on an embedded controller. My area of expertise is in the development of control system software for industrial equipment running on embedded controllers. Qt is one tool that is used to provide a customized UI to operators.I have a background in developing custom widget libraries which I can apply towards this project. My background in c++ is kernel IO. I recently completed a project in which I was required to write a program that generates mass IO on data storage systems in order to benchmark the systems performance. This was done by multi-threading the IO algorithms per each device, or memory partition, and submitting asynchronous IO requests. I have no problem signing a NDA. This is my first bid on freelancer.com, however, I can provide references for other small contract work that I have completed. I know that I do not have a reputation built through this site, yet, however, I would like to talk with you about this project in more detail. I believe you will see that I am a hard worker, honest, and have a background which will allow for the successful completion of this task in a timely manner. Thanks, Aaron

Currently I developing Qt GUI application for management fire-fighting system. Besides I created a lot of non-commercial Qt software. I'm new freelancer.com user. It would be my first project from this web site, but I'm expirenced and professional collaborator. I don't have detailed knowledge about complexity of this project, but I decided to bid this offer, becouse only 1 day left. I decide to choose 1 month period to finish this project, unfortunately I don't have detailed knowledge about this project, but I do my my best to finish this project faster. It would be great if you could send me more details about this GUI interface. I hope you will find my proposal as an interesting and I hope to have the opportunity to discuss with You about this project. Thank You in advance for your time. Sincerely, Piotr Duszyński

Hi, Indeed I am very interesting in your project. From 2008, I did a lot of work on QT and have done a lot of projects for different companies. For your project, if possible, I think we can have a deep discussion and figure out a proper way to make it much easier and more useful for user. Also, I wish I can join in the project even for less reward only because I like QT and want to make valuable things using QT. Currently, I am in USA, easy to reach me through S-k-y-p-e qdhuxp. B.R.
