Leverage Qt and C++ capabilities to create modern, cross-platform applications that can run on a wide variety of software applications
Explore what’s new in Qt 6 and understand core concepts in depth
Build professional customized GUI applications with the help of Qt Creator

Description

Qt is a cross-platform application development framework widely used for developing applications that can run on a wide range of hardware platforms with little to no change in the underlying codebase. If you have basic knowledge of C++ and want to build desktop or mobile applications with a modern graphical user interface (GUI), Qt is the right choice for you. Cross-Platform Development with Qt 6 and Modern C++ helps you understand why Qt is one of the favorite GUI frameworks adopted by industries worldwide, covering the essentials of programming GUI apps across a multitude of platforms using the standard C++17 and Qt 6 features. Starting with the fundamentals of the Qt framework, including the features offered by Qt Creator, this practical guide will show you how to create classic user interfaces using Qt Widgets and touch-friendly user interfaces using Qt Quick. As you advance, you'll explore the Qt Creator IDE for developing applications for multiple desktops as well as for embedded and mobile platforms. You will also learn advanced concepts about signals and slots. Finally, the book takes you through debugging and testing your app with Qt Creator IDE. By the end of this book, you'll be able to build cross-platform applications with a modern GUI along with the speed and power of native apps.

Who is this book for?

This book is for application developers who want to use C++ and Qt to create modern, responsive applications that can be deployed to multiple operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, and Linux desktop platforms.

First of all, the book is neatly written and is easy to follow through.The author has touched on many aspects of GUI application development, right from installation of Qt on different platforms and introduction to Qt Creator IDE to deployment of an application and performance considerations.Almost all key concepts such as important widgets, customization of widgets, GUI design with QML, graphics and animation, signals and slots, multithreaded programming, Qt project files, debugging, testing and deployment are included in the book.The things I like the most about this book are screenshots and examples used to convey the concepts which make it much easier to understand than just reading through the text. I think it is important to have multi-language support in any application we create and I was very happy to see a chapter dedicated to integrating translations into our applications.Overall this book is a must for any Qt enthusiast, beginner or otherwise.

I recently picked up Cross-Platform Development with Qt 6 and Modern C++ as a complete newbie to the Qt framework, and I have to say, it has been an incredibly helpful resource for me. The book does an excellent job of introducing the basics of the framework, starting with the architecture and widgets, and building up to more advanced topics such as threading and network programming. The author's explanations are clear and easy to understand, which is especially valuable for someone like me who is still learning the ropes.One of the things I appreciate most about this book is the way it integrates modern C++ concepts. Additionally, the book provides a variety of examples that are easy to follow, which has helped me to gain a better understanding of how the framework works in practice.Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is new to Qt and looking for a comprehensive introduction to the framework and its capabilities. It's a great resource for learning the basics and more advanced concepts, and the author does a fantastic job of making the material approachable and easy to understand.

Hello everyone,I am writing this review to review this great book which I just finished reading. Having more than 7 years of Qt programming experience, I can confidently say , this is one of the best book, I have read on Qt programming.I was trying to move to Qt6 for a while and this book really came very handy. Having gone through this book end to end , I can say this book is a good resource for somebody who is new to Qt programming or Like me who has several years of Qt programming experience.Examples are very detailed and provide a cleaner usage of the framework.I would highly recommend this book to Qt programmers and non Qt programmers who are thinking of diving into Qt programming.I appreciate the detailed examples written by the author.
