[Zoltán Balogh <zoltan.balogh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Frank,

Please bother the SDK team :) the best what you and any Ubuntu Phone 
application developer can do is to bother us with questions and suggestions.

Actually the QML/JS does not rule out the finely crafted C++ plugins. 
Just the opposite!

We expect finely  crafted C++ plugins designed in a generic way so they 
could be reused by other applications and they could be contributed to 
the SDK. What we do not suggest is to use C++ where pure QML offers a 
viable solution.

The shift from a procedura to a declarative programming mind is not 
necessarily trivial for a coder who have been doing C++ apps for years. 
That is why I would suggest to all Ubuntu Phone app developers to start 
with small and easy applications and discover the strength of the 
declarative programming.

Just translating a Qt/C++ code to QML/JS might not lead to the best results.

cheers,

Zoltán
