Now that we have looked at some of the basics of Qt Creator, let's use it to create our first program!
There is a long tradition in programming that the first program every programming class uses is Hello World! While I love traditions, I also love mixing things up a bit, so our first program will be Greetings from Qt! Obviously, our program will be an entirely different program from Hello World!
We will start by creating a project for Qt, and then we will learn about the text edit screen and how to design a simple UI. Of course, we will need to learn how to run our code. Finally, we will learn how to make sure our code stays safe as we develop and change it. The latter will become very important once we start working on our BigProject, something that will span most of this book.
