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

In this final chapter, we started by trying to understand why Qt has its own ways for doing some things that are now considered standard parts of modern C++11 or other libraries. That led us to trying to come up with some guidelines on when we should use Qt or other libraries. From there, we discussed how to increase the efficiency of our Qt code and found that some methods have applications outside of just Qt programming.

While this is the end of the teaching section of this book, I sincerely hope that this is not the end of your learning when it comes to how to develop embedded applications using Qt. We have only hit the high level of some of the topics that could be discussed. There are many things I wish I could have added to the discussion and discussed more in depth since the technology is continuing to grow. At the time of writing, Qt 6 is actively being developed...
