Overview of this book

Qt is a mature and powerful framework for delivering sophisticated applications across a multitude of platforms. It has a rich history in the Linux world, is widely used in embedded devices, and has made great strides in the Mobile arena over the past few years. However, in the Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS X worlds, the dominance of C#/.NET and Objective-C/Cocoa means that Qt is often overlooked. This book demonstrates the power and flexibility of the Qt framework for desktop application development and shows how you can write your application once and deploy it to multiple operating systems. Build a complete real-world line of business (LOB) solution from scratch, with distinct C++ library, QML user interface, and QtTest-driven unit-test projects. This is a suite of essential techniques that cover the core requirements for most LOB applications and will empower you to progress from a blank page to shipped application.

Summary

In this chapter, we took our project creation skills up to the next level, and our solution is now starting to take shape. We implemented an MVC pattern and bridged the gap between our UI and business logic projects. We dabbled with our first bit of QML and took a look at the cornerstone of the Qt framework, QObject.

We removed all those unsightly build-cm… folders, flexed our qmake muscles, and took control of where all of our files go. All binaries are now placed in the cm/binaries folder, organized by platform, compiler, processor architecture, and build configuration. All temporary build artifacts that aren’t required by the end user are now hidden away. We can freely switch kits and build configurations, and have our output automatically rerouted to the correct location.

In Chapter 3, User Interface, we will design our UI and get stuck in some more QML...
