In this chapter, we created a desktop Qt application from scratch. Qt is well known for its signal/slot mechanism and you must be confident using this paradigm. We also introduced some important C++14 features that will be used throughout this book.
It's now time to discover some qmake secrets and what really happens when you build your Qt project. In the next chapter, we will talk about how to create and organize an application with some platform-dependent code that must run on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
