Framework to Build Fuild BlackBerry 10 Native Apps. Cascades leverages the Qt object model, event model, and threading model, using QtCore, QtXML, QtSql, QtNetwork and QtSensors. The UI framework it based on an scene graph model and can be programmed at the C++ or QML level. Cascades includes a rich set of core and advanced controls and is OpenGL-accelerated.

Samples are critical to speeding up learning and using new technology. Whenever possible we release samples under an Open Source license to simplify their use in whatever contexts are most useful to the developer communities.
A list of the currently available samples is at [Cascades Samples].
