    \title Developing Qt Quick Applications

    \list

        \li \l {Creating Qt Quick Projects}

            You can use wizards to create Qt Quick projects.

        \li \l{Qt Quick UI Forms}

            Some of the wizards create Qt Quick projects that contain UI forms
            (.ui.qml files). The forms use a purely declarative subset of the
            QML language and you can edit them in the Design mode.

        \li \l {Using Qt Quick Designer}

            You can use the code editor (Edit mode) or the visual editor (Design
            mode) to develop Qt Quick applications.

        \li \l {Creating Components}

            You can use basic QML types to create your own components that you
            can combine with ready-made Qt Quick Controls and Layouts
            (available since Qt 5.1).
        \li \l {Creating Screens}

            You can combine basic QML types with ready-made Qt Quick Controls,
            Dialogs, and Layouts (available since Qt 5.1) to create screens. You
            can use states and transitions to navigate between screens.
        \li \l {Using Qt Quick Designer Extensions}

            \QMLD contains commercial features that make developing Qt Quick
            applications faster and easier.
        \li \l {Exporting Designs from Graphics Software}

            You can export designs from graphics software, such as Adobe
            Photoshop and GIMP, to QML files. You can then edit QML files in
            \QC.
        \li \l {Using QML Modules with Plugins}

            QML modules may use plugins to expose components defined in C++ to
            QML applications. \QC cannot load the plugins to determine the
            details of the contained components, and therefore, the modules must
            provide extra type information for code completion and the semantic
            checks to work correctly.
