Mastering Qt 5

Master application development by writing succinct, robust, and reusable code with Qt 5

Key Features

• [*] Unleash the power of Qt 5 with C++14
• [*] Integrate useful third-party libraries such as OpenCV
• [*] Package and deploy your application on multiple platforms

Book Description

Qt 5.7 is an application development framework that provides a great user experience and develops full-capability applications with Qt Widgets, QML, and even Qt 3D.This book will address challenges in successfully developing cross-platform applications with the Qt framework. Cross-platform development needs a well-organized project. Using this book, you will have a better understanding of the Qt framework and the tools to resolve serious issues such as linking, debugging, and multithreading. Your journey will start with the new Qt 5 features. Then you will explore different platforms and learn to tame them. Every chapter along the way is a logical step that you must take to master Qt. The journey will end in an application that has been tested and is ready to be shipped.
