Learn the fundamentals of QT 5 framework to develop interactive cross-platform applications

Key Features

• A practical guide on the fundamentals of application development with QT 5
• Learn to write scalable, robust and adaptable C++ code with QT
• Deploy your application on different platforms such as Windows, Mac OS, and Linux

Book DescriptionQt is a mature and powerful framework for delivering sophisticated applications across a multitude of platforms. It has a rich history in the Linux world, is widely used in embedded devices, and has made great strides in the Mobile arena over the past few years. However, in the Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS X worlds, the dominance of C\#/.NET and Objective-C/Cocoa means that Qt is often overlooked. This book demonstrates the power and flexibility of the Qt framework for desktop application development and shows how you can write your application once and deploy it to multiple operating systems. Build a complete real-world line of business (LOB) solution from scratch, with distinct C++ library, QML user interface, and QtTest-driven unit-test projects. This is a suite of essential techniques that cover the core requirements for most LOB applications and will empower you to progress from a blank page to shipped application. What you will learn
