Hands-On Embedded Programming with Qt

By: John Werner

Overview of this book

Qt is an open source toolkit suitable for cross-platform and embedded application development. This book uses inductive teaching to help you learn how to create applications for embedded and Internet of Things (IoT) devices with Qt 5. You’ll start by learning to develop your very first application with Qt. Next, you’ll build on the first application by understanding new concepts through hands-on projects and written text. Each project will introduce new features that will help you transform your basic first project into a connected IoT application running on embedded hardware. In addition to gaining practical experience in developing an embedded Qt project, you will also gain valuable insights into best practices for Qt development and explore advanced techniques for testing, debugging, and monitoring the performance of Qt applications. The examples and projects covered throughout the book can be run both locally and on an embedded platform. By the end of this book, you will have the skills you need to use Qt 5 to confidently develop modern embedded applications.

Section 4: Advanced Techniques and Best Practices

So far, we have set up our development environment and target device, learned how to use Qt Creator, looked at modern software development, and learned many things about Qt while transforming our BigProject from a simple digital clock into a connected thermostat. In this section, we will look at a number of more advanced Qt topics.

We begin in Chapter 11, Debugging, Logging, and Monitoring Qt Applications, by looking at ways to debug, log, and otherwise monitor Qt applications. In Chapter 12, Responsive Application Programming – Threads, we talk about the different ways Qt supports threads and how they can be used to generate more responsive programs. In Chapter 13, Qt Best Practices, our concluding chapter, we look at a number of best practices for Qt development that will help you in your projects.
