Esri is pleased to announce the beta release of the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt.

ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt is designed to help C++ developers use the Digia Qt framework to create highly functional GIS applications that use local services, yet the applications can have a small footprint. Local services allow for disconnected work in the field; an ArcGIS Server connection is not required.

Developers can build and deploy ArcGIS applications with this new SDK on both Windows and Linux platforms, 32- and 64-bit. This first release of the beta is available on Linux, with Windows to follow shortly, so stay tuned to the beta program for updates!

The ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt enables you to:

• Create focused applications with small memory and disk-space footprints. You select the capabilities you want, from simple map view/navigation to geoprocessing.
• Build touch-screen applications for platforms such as tablets and in-vehicle mounted devices.
• Display web maps that have been authored on www.ArcGIS.com or your own on-premise ArcGIS portals.
• Mashup data from your local device with map services from ArcGIS Online and/or your own on-premise ArcGIS Server to create unique maps.
• Display information about features in a map using popups
• Execute sophisticated geoprocessing tasks and display their results.
• Perform geometric operations and compute spatial relationships between features.
• Perform 2D visualization and analysis and 3D analysis
• Let users interactively add graphics and markup to a map
• Search for features or attributes in your GIS data and display the results
• …more…

We invite you to browse the online documentation and participate in the forums!

To get started with the beta today, simply download the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt from the community beta page. All you need is an Esri Global ID.
