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 2: Working with Embedded Qt

Having set up Qt, our host development system, and our target, we can now start exploring Qt itself. In Chapter 4, Important Qt Concepts, we will learn some of the core, basic concepts on which Qt is based.

We will then explore a modern development workflow and start working on a long-term project, the BigProject, in Chapter 5, Managing the Overall Workflow. This project will accompany us through most of the remainder of this book as we learn new things about Qt and add them.

We will then explore Qt's GUI technologies in Chapter 6, Exploring GUI Technologies, and conclude this section with Chapter 7, Adding More Features, where we will be exploring more Qt features. In each of these chapters, you will be adding more to BigProject.

The following chapters will be covered in this section:
