Qt 5 Blueprints: Cross-platform GUI projects using Qt 5

Learn how to create custom UI components from Qt Quick to extend your applicationBring in the power of C++ to extend your app logicMake your application support multiple languages dynamicallyA guide to get accustomed to the development of multi-threaded applications with Qt 5Write both static and dynamic plugins for application extensibilityUnderstand the advanced aspects of Qt 5, such as the mechanism of creating a pluginWork with the application building tool, namely qmakeBook contentThis book is a comprehensive guide that will help you learn how to efficiently develop interactive, cross-platform applications using the Qt 5 framework. It will take you through the fundamental concepts and advanced features of Qt 5, guiding you to effectively design, build, and deploy native graphical applications.

You will begin with a step-by-step process to create graphical user interface applications with a customized layout and widgets. As you progress, you will explore the Model-View-Controller architecture and relevant classes in Qt, enabling you to design a robust structure for your application. You will learn how to develop a configurable application that is able to save and restore its own settings, and write both static and dynamic plugins for Qt Widgets and Qt Quick applications.

You will then be guided through the process of converting a single-threaded application to a nonblocking application by moving part of the application to another thread. Gradually, you will enable your application to support multiple languages dynamically and create custom UI components from Qt Quick to extend your application.

By the end of this book, you will be able to harness the power of C++ to extend your application and understand the advanced aspects of Qt 5, such as the mechanism of creating a plugin, to build and deploy advanced cross-platform applications.
