Introduction to Qt Quick and QML

In the following section, we will learn what Qt Quick and QML are, and how we can make use of them to develop Qt applications without the need for writing C++ code.

Qt Quick is a module in Qt that provides a whole set of user-interface engines and language infrastructure for developing touch-oriented and visual-oriented applications. Instead of using the usual Qt Widgets for user-interface design, developers who choose Qt Quick will be using the Qt Quick objects and controls instead.
