# Managing Projects

One of the major advantages of Qt Creator is that it allows a team of designers and developers to share a project across different development platforms with a common tool for design, development, and debugging.

- Creating Projects

  To set up a project, you first have to decide what kind of an application you want to develop: do you want a user interface based on Qt Quick or Qt widgets. Second, you have to choose the language to implement the application logic: C++ or JavaScript.

- Using Version Control Systems

  The recommended way to set up a project is to use a version control system. Store and edit only project source files and configuration files. Do not store generated files.

- Configuring Projects

  Installation programs and project wizards create default configurations for Qt Creator and your projects. You can modify the settings in the Projects mode.

- Managing Sessions

  Items such as open files, breakpoints, and evaluated expressions are stored in sessions. They are not considered to be part of the information shared across platforms.
