Key benefits

  • Build a solid foundation in Qt by learning about its core classes, multithreading, File I/O, and networking
  • Learn GUI programming and build custom interfaces using Qt Widgets, Qt Designer, and QML
  • Use the latest features of C++17 for improving the performance of your Qt applications

Description

Qt is a powerful development framework that serves as a complete toolset for building cross-platform applications, helping you reduce development time and improve productivity. Completely revised and updated to cover C++17 and the latest developments in Qt 5.12, this comprehensive guide is the third edition of Application Development with Qt Creator. You'll start by designing a user interface using Qt Designer and learn how to instantiate custom messages, forms, and dialogues. You'll then understand Qt's support for multithreading, a key tool for making applications responsive, and the use of Qt's Model-View-Controller (MVC) to display data and content. As you advance, you'll learn to draw images on screen using Graphics View Framework and create custom widgets that interoperate with Qt Widgets. This Qt programming book takes you through Qt Creator's latest features, such as Qt Quick Controls 2, enhanced CMake support, a new graphical editor for SCXML, and a model editor. You'll even work with multimedia and sensors using Qt Quick, and finally develop applications for mobile, IoT, and embedded devices using Qt Creator. By the end of this Qt book, you'll be able to create your own cross-platform applications from scratch using Qt Creator and the C++ programming language.

Who is this book for?

If you are a beginner looking to harness the power of Qt and the Qt Creator framework for cross-platform development, this book is for you. Although no prior knowledge of Qt and Qt Creator is required, basic knowledge of C++ programming is assumed.

What you will learn

  • Create programs from scratch using the Qt framework and C++ language
  • Compile and debug your Qt Quick and C++ applications using Qt Creator
  • Implement map view with your Qt application and display device location on the map
  • Understand how to call Android and iOS native functions from Qt C++ code
  • Localize your application with Qt Linguist
  • Explore various Qt Quick components that provide access to audio and video playbacks
  • Develop GUI applications using both Qt and Qt Quick

I had a very limited knowledge of Qt dating back to when it just offered Widgets. I wanted to catch up with its possibilities, understand if one could now work exclusively with Qt Creator and see what Qt Quick was all about.Sadly, there are not many recent printed books out there on Qt and Qt Creator, so I picked this one and I have not been disappointed. The book gives an overview of Qt Creator, explains how to develop a desktop application with Qt Widgets, introduces Qt Quick. The book also introduces useful tools that come with Qt Creator such Qt Linguist and Profiler.After reading the book cover to cover, I think that I have good grasp on how to develop applications with Qt Creator.

De voorbeeldprojectjes zelf zien er leuk uit, echter:helaas is de opzet van QT Creator projecten in de loop van de tijd kennelijk veranderd want de voorbeelden sluiten niet aan op de hedendaagse versies waardoor je elk project aan het uitvogelen bent hoe je alles aan de praat krijgt.

This book should explain/learn you how to code in Qt 5. Always presuming you know C++.I know C and C++ for about 30 years. I know Visual C, Visual Bacis, ... I even know assembler.33 years ago I was learned that programming is a mindset. The language is just syntax.After 300 pages I still don't have a clue how to get input from a textbook into a variable.After 300 pages I still don't have a clue where to put which code.I'm missing the structure that bores me in so many programming books.I started to think it was me. Maybe Alzheimer, but just experimenting with Qt learns me more then following this book. So it must be the famous generation gap.

Das Buch hat keine Struktur, alles wird wild durcheinander erwähnt.Die abgedruckten Code-Schnipsel sind fehlerhaft und passen nicht zum erklärenden Text (oder umgekehrt).Wer hofft nach dem lesen dieses Buches eine QT Applikation schreiben zu können wird sehr enttäuscht feststellen, dass das Geld umsonst war. Leider habe ich diese Erfahrung bereits mit mehreren Büchern von PACKT machen müssen.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
