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.

Qt Best Practices

We have reached the last chapter of this book!

As we have worked our way through the chapters in this book, we have fulfilled 23 requirements for an imaginary product. In the process, we had a chance to learn the Qt Way by implementing, testing, and debugging code.

In the last two chapters, we left the project behind, but I hope that, as you learned about more Qt capabilities, you have thought of ways you could not only apply them to the project, but also to future projects you might have a chance to work on. The nice part is that you have a premade Target system that you can use. As I completed this book, I already thought of the next thing I want to build with my Raspberry Pi, Sense HAT, and Qt—an in-car performance monitor that can show and record how hard the car is turning, accelerating, and braking when I am competing in motorsports. I know there...
