Book Description
Learn the complete Qt ecosystem and its tools and build UIs for mobile and desktop applications
Qt 5.9 is an application development framework that provides a great user experience and develops full-capability applications with Qt Widgets,QML,and even Qt 3D. This learning path demonstrates the power and flexibility of the Qt framework for desktop application development and shows how you can write an application once and deploy it to multiple operating systems. It will address all the challenges while developing cross-platform applications with the Qt framework.
This course will give you a better understanding of the Qt framework and tools to resolve serious issues such as linking,debugging,and multithreading. It will also upskill you by explaining how to create a to-do-style app and taking you through all the stages in building a successful project. You will build a suite of apps; while developing these apps,you’ll deepen your knowledge of Qt Quick’s layout systems,and see Qt 3D and widgets in action. The next project will be in the industrial and agricultural sectors: making sense of sensor data via a monitoring system. Your apps should run seamlessly across devices and operating systems such as Android,iOS,Windows,or Mac,and be cost-effective by integrating with existing web technologies. You take the role of lead developer and prototype a monitoring system. In doing so,you’ll get to know Qt’s Bluetooth and HTTP APIs,as well as the Charts and Web Engine UI modules. These projects will help you gain a holistic view of the Qt framework.
