Key Features: - Harness the power of Qt and C++ to create modern applications that can run on various platforms - Explore the latest features of Qt 6 and gain a deep understanding of core concepts - Develop professional custom GUI applications with the assistance of Qt Creator

Book Description: Qt is a widely used cross-platform application development framework for creating applications that can run on a diverse range of hardware platforms without significant changes to the underlying codebase. If you have a basic understanding of C++ and aim to build desktop or mobile applications with a modern GUI, Qt is the ideal choice for you. "Cross-Platform Development with Qt 6 and Modern C++" provides insight into why Qt is a favored GUI framework worldwide. It covers the fundamentals of programming GUI apps across various platforms using standard C++17 and Qt 6 features.

Beginning with an introduction to the Qt framework and the features offered by Qt Creator, this practical guide demonstrates how to create traditional user interfaces using Qt Widgets and touch-friendly interfaces using Qt Quick. As you progress, you will delve into Qt Creator IDE to develop applications for multiple desktop, embedded, and mobile platforms. You will also learn advanced concepts about signals and slots before concluding with debugging and testing your app with Qt Creator IDE. By the end of the book, you will be equipped to build cross-platform applications with a modern GUI and the speed and power of native apps.

What you will learn: - Write cross-platform code using the Qt framework for interactive applications - Build a desktop application using Qt Widgets - Create touch-friendly user interfaces with Qt Quick - Develop a mobile application using Qt and deploy it on various platforms - Gain proficiency in Model/View programming with Qt Widgets and Qt Quick - Utilize Qt’s graphics framework and integrate animations into your user interface - Write test cases using the Qt Test framework and debug code - Build a translation-aware application - Follow best practices in Qt to write high-performance code

Who this book is for: This book is for application developers aiming to use C++ and Qt to create modern, responsive applications deployable on multiple operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, and Linux desktop platforms. While no prior knowledge of Qt is necessary, beginner-level knowledge of the C++ programming language and object-oriented programming system (OOPs) concepts will be beneficial.
