Overview of this book

Qt 5.7 is an application development framework that provides a great user experience and develops full-capability applications with Qt Widgets, QML, and even Qt 3D. This book will address challenges in successfully developing cross-platform applications with the Qt framework. Cross-platform development needs a well-organized project. Using this book, you will have a better understanding of the Qt framework and the tools to resolve serious issues such as linking, debugging, and multithreading. Your journey will start with the new Qt 5 features. Then you will explore different platforms and learn to tame them. Every chapter along the way is a logical step that you must take to master Qt. The journey will end in an application that has been tested and is ready to be shipped.

Preface

Summary


The chapter was a journey to create a well-defined gallery-core library. We studied advanced techniques with .pro files to split your project into sub-modules, persisted data in a SQLITE3 database with the help of smart pointers, and finally studied how the Model/View architecture works in Qt.

From now on, a project organization with Qt should hold no terrors for you. The next chapter will continue right where we stopped: the library is ready, now let's make great QWidgets to have a stunning gallery application and look at the other side of the model: the View layer.
