This page shows a simple
Qt 5
project which uses
QQmlEngine,
loads
Window
based
QML
file from resources and uses a
QObject
based class for QML/C++ communication.
In case you have not heard about Qt or your knowledge is a bit old, [the Qt White Paper is recommended](https://qt-project.org/wiki/QtWhitepaper This whitepaper describes the Qt C++ framework”) for reading.
In order to have some functionality in the additional “TimeManager” class, it fetches the timezones in a Windows OS. For other OS types, you need to look further. In Qt 5.1 is expected to provide cross platform support for timezones.

The resource system Qt uses a XML file called resources.qrc that lists all the files that are
compiled in the resulting binary. In this case there is only the QML file.
