Key FeaturesUnleash the power of Qt 5 with C++14Integrate useful third-party libraries such as OpenCVPackage and deploy your application on multiple platformsBook DescriptionQt 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.What you will learnCreate stunning UIs with Qt Widget and Qt QuickDevelop powerful, cross-platform applications with the Qt frameworkDesign GUIs with the Qt Designer and build a library in it for UI previewHandle user interaction with the Qt signal/slot mechanism in C++Prepare a cross-platform project to host a third-party libraryBuild a Qt application using the OpenCV APIUse the Qt Animation framework to display stunning effectsDeploy mobile apps with Qt and embedded platformsAbout the AuthorGuillaume Lazar is a software engineer living near Paris in France.
