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.

Summary

I love learning new things, and I hope you found some new things in this chapter. We started off in the Testing Qt applications section and learned multiple ways to test applications. In the Debugging Qt applications section, we looked at methods of debugging applications the old-school way and by using the Qt Creator debugging screens. Finally, we looked at monitoring Qt applications.

None of these were exhaustive looks. They were more of a survey to let you know what is out there. I encourage you to continue looking into these topics as you find the need for them.

In the next chapter, we will talk about responsive application programming using the Qt thread support libraries.
