Preface

Qt 5.9 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 learning path demonstrates the power and flexibility of the Qt framework for desktop application development and shows how you can write your application once and deploy it to multiple operating systems. It will address all the challenges while developing cross-platform applications with the Qt framework. 

Through this learning path, you will have a better understanding of the Qt framework and the tools to resolve serious issues such as linking, debugging, and multithreading. It will also upskill you by teaching how to create a to-do style app by going via all stages for building a successful project. You will build a suite of apps and while developing these apps you’ll deepen your knowledge of Qt Quick's layout systems, and see Qt 3D and Widgets in action. The next project will be for industrial and agricultural sectors, to make sense of sensor data via a monitoring system. The apps should run seamlessly across devices and operating systems like Android, iOS, Windows, or Mac, and be cost-effective by integrating with existing web technologies. You take the role of lead developer and prototype the monitoring system. In doing so you’ll get to know Qt's Bluetooth and HTTP APIs, as well as the Charts and Web Engine UI modules. These projects will help you gain a holistic view of the Qt framework.
