Create cross-platform applications using C++ and Qt Widgets and QML

Updated with the latest version of Qt 5.11, this in-depth guide introduces new features such as Quick Controls and Qt Gamepad. Key features of this guide include unleashing the power of Qt 5.11 with C++, building applications using Qt Widgets (C++) or Qt Quick (QML), and creating cross-platform applications for mobile and desktop platforms with Qt 5.

Qt 5.11 is an app development framework that provides a great user experience and develops full capability applications with Qt Widgets, QML, and even Qt 3D. Mastering Qt 5 offers the fastest, easiest, and most powerful solution for building GUI prototypes or fully-fledged cross-platform GUI applications with a native look and feel. This book addresses various challenges and teaches readers to successfully develop cross-platform applications using the Qt framework, with the help of well-organized projects.

Readers will gain a better understanding of the Qt framework and the tools required to resolve serious issues, such as linking, debugging, and multithreading. They will start by discovering the new Qt 5.11 features, followed by exploring different platforms and learning to interact with a gamepad using Qt Gamepad. Each chapter is a logical step for readers to complete in order to master Qt.

By the end of the book, readers will have created an application that has been tested and is ready to be shipped.

What readers will learn: - Creating stunning UIs with Qt Widgets and Qt Quick 2 - Developing powerful, cross-platform applications with the Qt framework - Designing GUIs with the Qt Designer and building a library for UI previews - Handling user interaction with the Qt signal or slot mechanism in C++ - Preparing a cross-platform project to host a third-party library - Using the Qt Animation framework to display stunning effects - Deploying mobile apps with Qt and embedded platforms - Interacting with a gamepad using Qt Gamepad
