Build cross-platform applications and deploy them across mobile and connected devices
Design 2D and 3D UIs for embedded systems using Yocto and Qt Creator
Build machine to machine automation solution using QtSensors, QtMQTT, and QtWebSockets

Description

Qt is a world-class framework, helping you to develop rich graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and multi-platform applications that run on all major desktop platforms and most mobile or embedded platforms. The framework helps you connect the dots across platforms and between online and physical experience. This book will help you leverage the fully-featured Qt framework and its modular cross-platform library classes and intuitive APIs to develop applications for mobile, IoT, and industrial embedded systems. Considerations such as screen size, device orientation changes, and small memory will be discussed. We will focus on various core aspects of embedded and mobile systems, such as connectivity, networking, and sensors; there is no IoT without sensors. You will learn how to quickly design a flexible, fast, and responsive UI that looks great. Going further, you will implement different elements in a matter of minutes and synchronize the UI elements with the 3D assets with high precision. You will learn how to create high-performance embedded systems with 3D/2D user interfaces, and deploy and test on your target hardware. The book will explore several new features, including Qt for WebAssembly. At the end of this book, you will learn about creating a full software stack for embedded Linux systems using Yocto and Boot to Qt for Device Creation.

Who is this book for?

The book is ideal for mobile developers, embedded systems engineers and enthusiasts who are interested in building cross-platform applications with Qt. Prior knowledge of C++ is required.

What you will learn

Explore the latest features of Qt, such as preview for Qt for Python and Qt for WebAssembly
Create fluid UIs with a dynamic layout for different sized screens
Deploy embedded applications on Linux systems using Yocto

Interessante as plataformas que o QT roda.

Amazon Verified review

Maxim Rozhkov Nov 16, 2019

The most important words in the title are «Hands-on», that means the book gives an opportunity to sneak peek a lot of the Qt 5 features. It covers the most brilliants laying on the basis of the Qt 5, from Qt Quick topics, through gesture control, REST API, Bluetooth and to the Qt for WebAssembly at the end. It can’t give you deep understanding of how Qt works, because of vastness of the Qt World, but after reading you will be much more aware of all those brilliants of the framework. I really loved the book. Only two things prevent the highest score of the book: there are a lot of errors in examples of code and the narrative is a little bit verbose sometimes.
